Yoga For Anyone, Anywhere, And Anytime

In simple words, yoga is a discipline based exercise whose aim is to relax your body and get peace in your mind.

As most of the words derived from sanskrit, yoga is also derived from sanskrit word name ‘Yuj’. In Sanskrit yuj stands for ‘to join’ or ‘to unite.  If we go through its origin and history we will find that yoga is a thing way before religion was a thing. It has been practiced for several thousand years. Some historical evidence shows that yoga has been practiced from the pre-Vedic period which is 2700 B.C.

Types of yoga:

• Hatha Yoga – Hatha in sanskrit means ‘force’. It consists of different physical postures and positions that help the person to achieve the energy and the balance of the body.
• Vinyasa Yoga – The word ‘vinyasa’ is the combination of two words Vi and Nyasa. Vi means variation and Nyasa means within prescribed limits. It helps you to deal with blood pressure, anxiety, and depression.
