Yoga is an ancient practice that originated in India over 5,000 years ago. It is much more than physical exercise—it’s a way of life that promotes balance, inner peace, and overall well-being. The word "yoga" comes from the Sanskrit word "yuj", meaning to unite, symbolizing the union of the body, mind, and spirit.

Yoga includes various asanas (postures), pranayama (breathing techniques), and meditation, which together improve flexibility, strength, focus, and emotional stability. It helps reduce stress, boost immunity, and improve mental clarity. Whether it’s a calm practice like Hatha Yoga or an energetic flow like Vinyasa, there’s a style of yoga for everyone.

Globally recognized and practiced, yoga has become a part of many people’s daily routines. The International Day of Yoga, celebrated on June 21, emphasizes its universal benefits and cultural significance.

In a fast-paced world full of distractions and stress, yoga offers a path to inner peace, mindfulness, and a healthier lifestyle. It teaches us to slow down, breathe deeply, and connect with ourselves and the world around us.
