What is Yoga?
Yoga is an ancient holistic system that practised regularly will calm the mind. It is also believed to connect the body and spirit with the universal consciousness. In yoga philosophy, dedicated yogis or yoginis seek to attain the eighth limb of yoga; "samadhi" (bliss, self-realisation or enlightenment) through continued practise.
This may or may not happen in this lifetime though, particularly if one desires it too much! Originally developed in India and summarised by Patanjali in his famous yoga sutras, the practise and study of yoga formed a significant part of the ancient vedic texts. In fact, there is some indication that yoga might date back well over 5000 years.
