Wherever I am, the world comes after me.
It offers me its busyness. It does not believe that I do not want it.
Now I understand why the old poets of China went so far
and high into the mountains, then crept into the pale mist.
"The Old Poets of China" by Mary Oliver

WHAT IS YOGA?

Yoga is an ancient practice and discipline that aims to unite, bring harmony, and deepen the connection between one’s mind, body, emotion, and energy. A technology for inner well-being, yoga seeks to achieve a sense of spiritual awakening by harmonizing one’s self with the universe (Basavaraddi 2015).

Yoga is rooted from Indian philosophy. The term was derived from the Sanskrit root yuj, which means “to yoke” or “union” (Basavaraddi 2015; National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) n.d.). Historical evidences show that yoga has been existing since the Indic Civilization (Bhavanani n.d.), and its practice has been passed down from spiritual teachers (guru) to disciples since the ancient times (Bira n.d.). Yoga started to rise in popularity when it was recognized and acknowledged in the West in 19th century (Bhavanani n.d.). Today, it puts more emphasis on its health benefits and the inner workings of the mind (Bira n.d.).
