The word yoga is derived from the ancient Sanskrit root verb ‘yuj’, which means “to join” or “unite”. It signifies the union of the conscious mind with the deeper levels of the unconscious or universal mind, which ultimately results in a totally integrated personality. Yoga is the ancient science as a mean of achieving physical, mental, and spiritual well-being and as a pathway to liberation or enlightenment. Yoga can be an especially helpful tool for relaxation and a means of reducing stress and mental tension caused by living in a different culture.

"Yoga is to remove disturbances from one's mind and heart. Yoga is to have a strong hold on one's heart which is like a wild horse. The methods to do that are asana(postures), breath, and meditation. Thus yoga, is realistic. It is based on one's reality. You should feel freedom and peace at home and work. Yoga should not be considered as a mysterious approach to life."
