Yoga is one of India\u2019s six main philosophical systems. <\/mark><\/strong> In actual fact, Yoga means \u201cyoke\u201d ,which is a wooden beam normally tied to a pair animals enabling them to pull a plow or chariot together. Metaphorically it symbolizes the alliance, connection or unification, of the individual ego with the Supreme, Absolute or Spiritual Authority or God, as each of us understands the primordial cause.. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yoga is not <\/strong>a religion or a resignation from life\u2019s responsibilities. It is a system of techniques<\/strong> or a way of life<\/strong> which is brought about from a state of internal harmony<\/strong> and the ability to live in harmony<\/strong> with our surroundings and environment. It is a study <\/strong>of human development which uses techniques that involve control of the body, the mind and the senses through bioenergy. It is a method for overcoming human pain regardless of its source leading to freedom from illness and despair. It is the path to self-knowledge<\/strong> beyond the actual or practical existence or our body and our personality which are both in constant change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yoga has 4 basic paths<\/strong> all of which have the same goal. Each individual is free to choose the path that best suits them according to their needs and personalities. Many may also find that a combination of paths is a better alternative for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
