What is yoga?
Yoga is a holistic practice encompassing a range of physical, mental, and spiritual techniques. It involves the performance of physical postures (asanas) to strengthen and stretch the body, breath control (prayanama) to enhance vitality and mental focus, meditation to cultivate inner peace and self-awareness, and ethical principles (yamas and niyamas) to guide one's behavior and interactions with others. Originating from ancient India, yoga offers a comprehensive approach to achieving overall well-being by harmonizing the body, mind, and spirit.
