Yoga
is the best and most time tested path to physical and mental well-being known to mankind. While some people think of yoga simply as physical exercise, it is actually a complete system for overall health and well-being. It includes everything: from physical postures, personal hygiene, and a healthy diet to premeditation, breathing, and relaxation techniques. The most advanced forms of meditation and self-realisation are also part of yoga. Yoga in Sanskrit means UNION...union between the body, the mind, the soul ....the Universal Energy. We are all ONE.
