What does this mean Yoga

Yoga comes from the word yoke, which means union. Yoga is the union between the final itself and the infinite self.

What does this mean?

The final itself is the physical body and the experience we have through the physical body. Everyone can relate to the physical body, because it can be seen, and it can be touched. What is the infinite body so? The infinite self is the inner self, higher self, spiritual self.

The spiritual self has nothing to do with religion. Yoga is not a religion. Yoga accepts people of all religions, whether Christian, Jewish, agnostic, etc. Not all people who practice yoga belongs to a religion and not all the people who belong to a religious practice yoga.

Yoga gives you the technology to connect to your infinite body. Most people visualize yoga as a workout, and there is no doubt about the link between physical activity and the release of endorphins. Yoga poses (asana) are very good for the body and neurological system and the endocrine system. Asana follow one after another in a certain way. In some yoga paths, teachers should not change the order. The goal is to direct the flow of energy and movement to different areas of the body to prepare the body for meditation, the last step in the yoga path, to achieve happiness, also known as Nirvana.

The combination of breath (pranayama), yoga positions (asana), madras (hand positions), bands (body locks) and meditation include yoga practice.

Yoga provides the technology necessary to treat your body. In the modern world, when we go to school, we get experience on how to deal with the external world, but not on how to deal with the inner world.

Yoga teaches you how your body works, how to breathe properly, how to use all these techniques to your own advantage, how to understand, relate and use the mind and the necessary tools to make minds, so you can access to the natural state of Oneness.
