Yoga: comes from the ancient Sanskrit language. The root word is YUG, which translates as "to yoke, or join, connect, or unite".
Yoga is a practical system or lifestyle which was developed by those who found their way into a state of harmonious connection with All of Life. For thousands of years this Wisdom has been passed on to help us realize a state of Personal Liberation, the way to release the pain of separation from one"s True Self, and the Source of all Life.
In the Yogic System of Liberation from the pain of separateness, there are 8 practical steps or limbs that one has to master in order to achieve such state of union. I will only name them here for the purpose of this intro to yoga. They are known as:
Yamas: basically ethics to live by, such as Non-harming, Being Truthful, Non-stealing, universal thinking, non-hoarding or simplifying.
Niyamas: physical and mental purifications, contentment, Self study and social service, inspirational or philosophical studies, meditation.
Asanas: physical and mental exercises to purify body & mind in order to fulfill our purpose.
Pranayamas: working or managing the Life Force thru breath control.
Pratyaharas: practices to manage the senses
Dharana: Concentration
Dhyana: Meditation
Samadhi: Liberation
Sometimes, someone asks me to demonstrate Yoga. I say, it cannot be done, cause it cannot be seen, perhaps only perceived. I understand that nowadays people think of yoga as the postures or asanas. Important to realize that even if someone can do a visually beautiful performance of these asanas, one cannot know if such an individual is in a state of harmony or internal ease, which is the aim of Yoga.
Yoga is considered to be a Science of Life, but also an Art, a Philosophy and a Didactic that teaches us how to live successfully, joyfully, with true freedom and ease.
We now know and can agree that the experience of separation from ourselves, each other and Source is the cause of our existential suffering. Yoga provides the means to heal this state of separation form our True Self and restore our consciousness to a state of union or connection to all of Life, therefore freedom from the causes of our suffering.
At an entry level you will experience greater freedom of movement in your body, develop the ability to free your mind from past and future and allow greater freedom to be naturally you! The Purpose of Yoga in one word is Freedom! Are you ready to have more freedom?
