What is Yoga?
Yoga is a Sanskrit word meaning “to yolk” or “to thread together,” given to a philosophy developed around 5,000 years ago by an ancient culture living in the foothills of the Himalayas. Around 2,000 years ago Patanjali (Pah-tahn-juh-lee)transferred the oral tradition of Yoga to the written word, creating the Yoga Sutras and earning the title “the Father of Yoga.” The purpose of Yoga is to prepare the mind and body for meditation, whose ultimate goal is Samadhi or union.
Yoga can be divided into 8 branches:
Samadhi (Union)
-
Dhyana (Meditation) Yamas (external discipline)
-
Dharana (Concentration) Niyamas (Internal Discipline)
-
Pratyahara (Withdrawal of Senses) Asana (Poses)
-
Pranayama (Breathwork)
In the west we are typically introduced to Yoga through asana, the Yoga poses, however the traditional starting point is the Yamas and Niyamas which are moral and ethical ideals the Yogi aspires to live by.
