Yoga is a path to enlightenment. The literal meaning of the word Yoga in Sanskrit is integration. The word ‘yoga’ is derived from the Sanskrit root yuj( yujate anenah yogah) means to join. The English word yoke is cognate with the Sanskrit word yoga. As per the Bhagwat Gita (the great Hindu holy scripture)‘ “yogah karmashu kausalam” means to dexterity in action.

Yoga is process of discipline which helps to bring the essence meaning of human that is ultimate aim of human being. In this sense it represents a process through which one can learn how to live in the most integrated way. It involves therefore the process of identification and then elimination of all that would contribute in disintegration. In this integrated way of living, the process of identification of all the elements causing ill health and the use of appropriate techniques to neutralize their ill effects became one of the primary concerns of Yoga. “Thus Yoga which essentially is a Science of personal growth for spiritual experiences has simultaneously become a Science of Health and Healing”.
