As a spiritual discipline, Yoga practice can enable us to understand and harmoniously master the workings of the human psyche

Yoga is a means for sincere spiritual seekers to transcend all temporal limitations and become established in one's own inherent power. It is a fusion of this blissful inner nature and the wider natural forces from which one has emerged.

Yoga is the fusion of a healthy body with a disciplined mind for the purpose of spiritual development

As a unified discipline, Yoga aims at physical, mental and spiritual development, step by step. It improves physical health and resilience, harmonizes thought and emotion, and awakens supersensory abilities.

The word "Yoga" is derived from the Sanskrit root "yuj" meaning to unite, join, harness, contact or connect

Yoga is not a religion by itself, or a part of any other religious system. Yoga is a great gift of the ancient Indian sages that has been passed down through the ages for the benefit of humankind. Yoga is a system of practice: a process of growing, unfolding and becoming conscious as a whole, not a partial being.
