Yoga is the oldest science of life and originates from India as far back as 3000 B.C. Its philosophy is based on the tenets of simple living and high thinking. Yoga comes from the Sanskrit root  ‘Yuj’ which means union. Traditionally, according to Vedanta Philosophy, the higher spiritual goal of its practices is to unite the individual consciousness Atman with the Supreme Consciousness Brahman; the Supreme Reality. This spiritual path requires the purification of the body and mind (by controlling the senses) and transcending beyond their limitations.

Initially in the West, Yoga was adopted as a form of exercise as a means of maintaining physical fitness, de-stressing and to understand one-self with greater clarity; through the practice of the postures (Asanas), breathing (Pranayama), relaxation (Shavasana) and meditation (Dhyana).

Yoga philosophy views the spiritual path of each individual as a unique and personal experience. Its teachings do not discriminate between different faiths but allow a platform to connect these faiths on their common beliefs. Whether one wants to obtain physical, emotional or spiritual progression or all three combined, Yoga draws from its versatile approach to direct the practitioner concisely, with conviction, through their evolutionary journey.
