What is yoga?

Yoga is a philosophy and science of life that developed in ancient India. The word “Yoga” means yoke or union. The study and practice of yoga unifies the body, mind, and spirit and incorporates the flow of life force, or “prana.”

The student of yoga develops a sense of integration and balance through the practice of postures (asanas), breath control (pranayama), and other techniques including meditation.
