What is Yoga?

The Benefits of Yoga

The word yoga, derived from the Sanskrit word yuj, means to yoke or bind and is often interpreted as "union" or a method of discipline. A male who practices yoga is called a yogi, a female practitioner, a yogini. Today, most people practicing yoga are engaged in the third limb, asana (one of eight limbs), which is a program of physical postures designed to purify the body and provide the physical strength and stamina required for long periods of mediation.
