Yoga is an invaluable gift of ancient Indian tradition. It is a physical, mental and spiritual practice or discipline which
originated in ancient India based on an extremely subtle science which focuses on bringing harmony between mind; body; thought and action
Yoga is a science and art of living; also, it is a body of techniques that lead us to consciously connect with ourselves and with life, the experience of yoga. As yoga is an art and science, there is no dogma or belief system attached to it. Yoga tells us to do a certain practice and feel their effect following the practice, e.g. if we breath slowly in a relaxed manner we will slow our heart rate; if we focus the mind we will develop mental peace and deep in sight
In addition to this, Yoga is becoming popular day by day and has become a wave which is sweeping across the globe.
