The definition of Yoga:The word "yoga" comes from the Sanskrit root yuj,
which means "to join" or "to yoke".
1. Yoga is a practical aid, not a religion. Yoga is an ancient art based on a harmonizing system of development for the body, mind, and spirit. The continued practice of yoga will lead you to a sense of peace and well-being, and also a feeling of being at one with their environment. This is a simple definition.

The first step for beginers
A quick Starting point:
1 Sitting Down. Begin by sitting erect on the floor in any comfortable position. Take a moment to survey your surroundings. Feel the energy in the room, observe the colors and shapes, and be aware of how you feel. Then close your eyes and breathe in deeply, gently. Savor the air for a moment as you hold your breath, then release it slowly. Do this three times, reminding yourself that your are an integral part of the universe. Pay attention to your posture, the feeling-tone of you, and be relaxed and motionless.
If you want to see what we do not represent, and the opposite path of the Yoga lifestyle, here is the Yin to our Yang.
