Essence of Yoga
January 11th, 2009 7:24 pmWhen many people hear the word “yoga” mentioned, they invariably think of extremely agile bodies twisted into contorted positions. However, there is nothing inherently complex or complicated about the practice of yoga.
Yoga is in large part, all about ‘union’. Union of the body, mind, and spirit. It is practiced not only physically but mentally, emotionally & spiritually also. One of the best ways to accomplish this unity is yoga which is essentialy a spiritual pursuit.
Taking this idea further, yoga can have the effect of strengthening the spirit. The spirit forms the core of a person, and when it is strengthened, the personal as a whole will be also. The art of Yoga poses, created so many years ago, has time-tested principles that are still very much relevant today.
