Yoga means "union" or "to yoke" in the ancient Indian language of Sanskrit. Yoga creates union between the mind, body, and spirit.
On a physical level, Yoga both strengthens the body and gives the body suppleness! An object which is very strong, yet is rigid will crack under pressure - as will humans! And an object which is very flexible, but without any structure will be like a floppy ragdoll unable to move forward with resilience - as too with humans!
Yoga creates this balance within the body on a muscular/structural level. Yoga also works much more deeply creating internal balance of our energetic systems, and aiding in the development of a balance of strength and flexibility mentally and emotionally as well.
There are many, many forms of yoga, and many, many reasons why individuals want to learn yoga. No matter what level of previous experience you have, what your reason for exploring yoga, what age/physical condition you are, you can be certain that there is a yoga for you. The right yoga for you is the one that supports and gives you greater strength, flexibility, and balance to pursue your goals whether they be physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, or any combination thereof.
