Frequently asked questions:

What is Yoga?

Yoga is a scientific system of health designed to bring
practitioners health, happiness, and a greater sense of Self. It is the
oldest physical discipline in existence. The earliest evidence of yoga dates
back to about 3000 B.C.

The goal of yoga is to have a peaceful, clear mind in a strong, healthy body. The original purpose of the postures and breathing exercises was to prepare practitioners for the rigors of meditation, sitting still and alert for long periods of time.

The word "yoga" has its roots in the Sanskrit language and means to merge, join, or unite. Yoga is often associated with Hinduism, but it is not a religion. Yoga is meditation in motion, a science and an art, and one of India's great ancient philosophies. Today, over 6 million people in the United States practice yoga.
