WHAT IS HOT YOGA?
Yoga can be anything you need it to be.
It can be your Zen. Or it can be your work-out. It can be your way of life.
The word yoga comes from Sanskrit, an ancient Indian language and is a 5000 year old Indian body of knowledge. It is a derivation of the word yuj, which means yoking, as in a team of oxen. In contemporary practice, this is often interpreted as meaning union, to unite, to integrate.
Yoga is said to be for the purpose of harmonizing or uniting the mind, body, and spirit through the means of various breathing techniques (pranayama), yoga postures (asanas) and meditation (dhyana).
