  1. 1. Yoga: A Holistic Way of Life! If you think of people in seemingly impossible and weirdly twisted poses when you think of "Yoga", then you may have an inkling of what yoga is, just an inkling, that's it. But Yoga is much more than those poses.
  2. 2. It is a complete way of life including - Gyan Yoga or philosophy, Bhakti Yoga or path of devotional bliss, Karma Yoga or path of blissful action and Raja Yoga or path of mind control. Raja Yoga is further divided into eight parts, of which
  3. 3. only one part is Asana or postures. Derived from the Sanskrit word "yuj" which means "to unite or integrate"; yoga is a 5000 year old Indian body of knowledge. Yoga is all about harmonizing the body with the mind and breath through the means of various breathing techniques, yoga postures (asanas) and meditation.
  4. 4. Yoga has never been alien to us. It's a way of our life. We have been doing it since we were a baby! Whether it is the Cat Stretch that strengthens the spine or the Wind- Relieving pose that boosts digestion, you will always see kids do some form of yoga throughout the day. It keeps the body healthy and the mind clear. Yoga can
