Yoga is basically a spiritual practice that aims to achieve harmony between the mind and body through a very subtle science. It is the science and art of leading a healthy life. From the Sanskrit root "Yuj," which means "to join," "to yoke," or "to unite," comes the word "yoga." According to Yogic teachings, practicing yoga results in the unification of one's own consciousness with that of the universe, signifying complete harmony between the mind and body, as well as between man and nature. All things in the cosmos are merely manifestations of the same quantum firmament, according to contemporary science. Upon reaching a level of liberation known as mukti, nirvana, or moksha, an individual is said to be in yoga and referred to as a yogi. Yoga therefore aims to achieve Self-realization and the transcendence of all forms of suffering in order to reach "the state of liberation" (Moksha) or "freedom" (Kaivalya). The primary goals of practicing yoga will be health, harmony, and living freely in all spheres of life."Yoga" also refers to an internal science that includes numerous techniques that help people realize this oneness and take control of their own destiny.Widely regarded as a "immortal cultural outcome" of the 2700 B.C. Indus Saraswati Valley civilization, yoga has demonstrated its ability to support human advancement on both a material and spiritual level.Fundamentally compassionate principles are what make Yoga Sadhana who it is.
