But, what is yoga?

The word yoga means "union" or "pure state of Conscientious" of our physical and mental being, our spiritual being.

The science of yoga originated in India thousands of years ago among the ascetics, mystics and hermits who sought in the privacy of forests and mountains to evolve as human beings and awaken the hidden potential of the mind and body. It indicates that the oldest record of yoga as an independent system of knowledge is the text "Yoga Sutras" of Patanjali written between approximately 700-300 BC.

The goal is to achieve Samadhi, state of existential fullness, expanded consciousness. Transcend duality, to experience being one with the whole.

Political fanaticism.
