Yoga is an ancient Indian practice which consists of physical and spiritual exercises meant to cause the practitioner’s total improvement, implying health, inner peace, mental control, but also access to a superior level of consciousness, unity with the supreme and liberation from karma. The basis of yoga is actually represented by unity: the unity between mind, body and spirit. The term itself comes from a Sanskrit word (yuj) which has the exact meaning of unite. |

Since its beginnings and regardless of what branch of yoga is involved, the final purpose of yoga refers to achieving freedom from worldly pain as well as reaching an ongoing cycle of life and death. However, it has obviously shifted its sense of mainly being a spiritual practice through its widespread popularity and with the help of a yogi anybody has access to the health benefits and relaxation that yoga offers. |

Currently, yoga is one of the most popular fitness activities worldwide. One of its appeal is that it can be practiced by elders and it can improve the overall physical fitness of athletes. |
