Question

What is Yoga?

Accepted Answer

It is difficult to define yoga. Yoga could be defined as a science because the roots of this multidimensional discipline can be found in different sciences. Yoga takes elements from anatomy, physiology, psychology, neuroscience to name a few and puts them into action.
​
The Yoga Sutras define yoga as: "The stilling of the fluctuations of the mind". In my opinion yoga can be defined as both, "the action", the practice and discipline that controls the rising of the mind and "the state" in which we experience the calm and bliss of the still mind.

Yoga doesn’t just concern itself with the body it develops the inner self. This journey is of unimaginable joy, amazement, acceptance, compassion and self-development.

​It is a holistic practice, but for most people yoga begins with the body. The more you practice the more you can develop physically and mentally.

Hope to see you on the mat.
