What is Yoga

Yoga is more than just a form of exercise. It is a journey inward — a method to align the body, mind, breath, and consciousness. Rooted in ancient Vedic wisdom, Yoga is a holistic science that aims to bring balance to our daily lives, not just on the mat but beyond it. Whether someone is seeking physical flexibility, mental calmness, emotional balance, or spiritual connection, YOGA offers a pathway.

The word Yoga means “union” — the union of the individual self with the universal consciousness. The foundation of Yoga is laid out in the ancient texts such as the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, the Bhagavad Gita and the Upanishads. Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras describe the eight-fold path, or Ashtanga Yoga, which includes Yama (moral restraints), Niyama (personal observances), Asana (postures), Pranayama (breath regulation/Channelisation), Pratyahara (withdrawal of senses), Dharana, Dhyana and Samadhi.
