Many people think that yoga is just stretching. And it’s true that the form of yoga that is commonly practiced in the west today has a strong focus on physical postures or poses, or more accurately asana, a Sanskrit word, the language of ancient India.
The word yoga means “union” in Sanskrit. The yoga practice aims to unite the mind, body and spirit. The aims and benefits of yoga are varied and range from improving health and physical fitness to achieving mental clarity and spiritual enlightenment.
The physical practice of Yoga creates balance and health in the body through developing both strength and flexibility. In addition to the poses, yoga classes may also include breathing practices (or pranayama), call and response chanting, or meditation. The variety will depend on the individual teacher and the yoga style in which he or she is trained.
