The Spirit Of Yoga

Yoga is as old as civilization and has been practiced for thousand years as a gentle but powerful means of achieving strength, flexibility,stillness, and balance in body and mind. Though it originated on the subcontinent of India thousands of years ago, more and more people in the West are turning to yoga as a way of dealing with the stresses and strains of modern living. Few countries can match the scale and diversity of India and no other country has its religion so intertwined with every aspect of live. Indian philosophy concentrates largely on man’s spiritual destiny, which is why it is so bound up with Indian religion, often blurring the boundaries between the religion, particularly between Hinduism and Buddhism. In thousand of years of Indian scriptures passed down over the centuries there are many references to yoga as a path toward the Truth.

Schools, ashrams, and centers of yoga have proliferated all over the Western world since the start of the twentieth century. Teachers have developed techniques and changed emphasis, and then given names to their “new” methods. Today there are so many to choose from it can be difficult to know where to start. The term “yoga” is now applied to many forms of asceticism, meditation, and spiritual training, but originally it came from southern India as a discipline whose aim was to escape the karmic cycle of cause and effect and reach a higher consciousness.
