Yoga

What is Yoga?

From the outside, it may seem like yoga is about doing fancy poses, but the real benefits of yoga are internal. Yoga in Sanskrit means “yoke” or “bring together” or linking breath and movement to calm the mind. The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali define yoga as: “Yogas chitta vritti nirodha” – which means “yoga is the cessation of the fluctuations of the mind“.
