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.

Paths of Yoga.

The 8 steps of yoga.
Patanjali describes eight steps related to yoga: This set is also called Ashtanga Yoga.
  • Yama: Ethical Principles and rules for living in society, are divided into five moral precepts, aimed at destroying the lower nature. Everyone should be practiced in word, thought and action.
    • Ahimsa or non-violence. 
    • Satya or truth. 
    • Brahmacharya or moderation in all things (control of the senses). 
    • Asteya or not steal.
    • Aparigraha or not covet  
  • The niyamas: Personal Autocontrol. They are also divided into five and complete the ethical precepts that begin with Yamas. These qualities are:
    • Saucha or purity. Internal and external cleaning. 
    • Santosha or contentment 
    • Tapas or austerity 
    • Swadhyaya or study of sacred texts 
    • Ishwara Pranidhana is living constantly becoming aware of the divine presence. (surrender to the will of God)

  • Dhyana: Meditation, reflection and contemplation. Meditation is the state of pure thought and absorption in the object of meditation. There is still duality in Dhyana. When perfected, Dhyana leads to the last step.
