Yoga was developed in India an estimated 5,000
years ago as a philosophy and practice for achieving a balanced state
of body, mind, and spirit, leading to optimal functioning or thriving.
The word yoga essentially means union and is derived from the Sanskrit
word "yuj", or to yoke, referring to the union of the individual
and the Divine.
In recent years, yoga has been steadily gaining
popularity as a means to get and stay fit and healthy and achieve more
balance and harmony in a often-busy world. Today, an estimated 18 million
people practice through the United States. Ultimately, people who practice
yoga regularly not only feel better physically, but also report an increased
sense of happiness and peace within themselves and with the world around
them.
