Yoga means union.
The sanskrit word yoga has many meanings: to unite, to join, to contemplate, and to be absorbed. When we practice it regularly, we unite our mind, body an spirit. We connect with ourselves, and we are able to connect more meaningfully with other and the world we are in.
Yoga is the ultimate act of self study. It is a daily dive deep into ourselves, where we come back refreshed and ready for all comers. Yoga goes much deeper than streching. How you live in your body, how you experience it, is how you live in your mind is tense your body is tense, and it dominos through the rest of your life. If your mind is out of balance, your body is out of balance, and your life can spiral out of control. If your mind is calm, open, and focused, your body and life also reflect and expand acordingly.
