Defining Yoga
Yoga is the total combination of body mind and spirit or individual consciousness to universal consciousness (lower self to higher self) and its incorporation within our daily lives. It helps on all aspects (the physical, mental, vital, psychic, emotional and spiritual) of a person.
It is truly difficult to define yoga in a layman's term but putting it simply, the word yoga means union or oneness. This word derived from the Sanskrit word yog, which means to join. When our bodily soul unites with the Supreme Soul or transcends to the enlightenment state, it is called yoga. Union of the lower self with the universal plane is also known as yoga.
