Yoga is a Sanskrit word. It means "union". It is often simply explained as the unification of your body, your mind and your spirit. Yoga is way more than that though. Yoga is the realization of the self. Yoga is realizing that you are at the center of the world co-creating your existence with all other beings and non-beings. Yoga is realizing that through your thoughts (conscious and unconscious) you are creating your reality. Yoga is realizing that through your choices, you are determining the path of your life.
This is how yoga works. Through living a socially morale acceptable life (this will vary by culture and upbringing although the basics are the same), we diminish social drama. Through living a personally morale life, we diminish personal drama. Through movement, we heal our bodies and begin to line up our energy body or chakras. Through breath, we begin to appreciate life, pause and relax. Through meditation, we become aware of our thoughts and aware that we can control our thoughts. Through service to mankind, we find our life's purpose. At the end of this, is a happy person who has had a happy life.
Choose Happiness!
