Perhaps many of us hearing the word “yoga” come to mind childhood fantasies about supernatural powers. But Yoga is in fact an educational program of human evolution. The word “yoga” in Sanskrit means “union”. From this we can deduce that the evolution of the body, mind and spirit in general forms what we call “human.”
All great teachers believe that spiritual well-being must be preceded by physical and mental health. If you are wondering what mind and spirit mean, know that there is no definite idea. This assumes that each of us is both free and responsible to ask, guess, feel and think, thus forming our own opinion about what spiritual means.
Yoga practice targets both the physical and the psychic, which are said to be two inseparable parts of a whole that intertwines in unexpected ways. Yoga training includes different postures (asana, mudra, bandha), breathing techniques (pranayama) and concentration to have better control over the physical and psychic. Of course, yoga can be used as a complementary exercise in many sports such as bodybuilding or fitness exercises. In martial arts training, yoga techniques are used for mobility. It’s easy to add yoga to your exercise routine.
