Yoga is an ancient spiritual discipline that originated in India thousands of years ago. While many people associate yoga with physical postures, traditional yoga encompasses a much broader path that includes ethics, breathwork, meditation and spiritual development.
There are many forms of yoga, including Hatha Yoga, Kundalini Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, Karma Yoga and Raja Yoga. Each emphasises different aspects of personal growth while sharing the common goal of cultivating harmony between body, mind and spirit.
Yoga practices may improve flexibility, strength, relaxation and mindfulness. Beyond the physical benefits, many practitioners use yoga as a path of self-awareness, inner transformation and spiritual awakening.
Today yoga is practised throughout the world and continues to evolve while remaining rooted in ancient wisdom traditions.
