Yoga is an ancient physical, mental and spiritual practice that originated in India, with roots dating back over 5,000 years. The word “yoga” is derived from the Sanskrit word “yuj,” which means to unite or join, reflecting the goal of harmonizing the body, mind and spirit. Yoga involves a combination of physical postures (asanas), breathing exercises (pranayama), meditation, ethical principles to promote overall health, self-awareness and spiritual growth.
