Yoga - my own definition
I was recently talking about my yoga regime with a friend and he happened to ask me, what is this practice and what is it do for people. Its quite true yet strange that its such a widely owned and renowned practice of Indian culture, yet we have to make separate ways to get to learn it. Its not a part of our schooling or day to day learning, and one needs to know what you can do with it. Yoga, as per me, is not just a practice but almost a ritual. I have been involved with for the last 20 years. Its as much a part of my lifestyle that a day of lapse feels something a-miss in the day. And its been such a long time, yet I am all the time inspired when I meet or learn from new teachers. It has so much in its folds that small variations lead to new creativity. There are typically many branches of yoga in Hindu philosophy including Raja Yoga, Karma Yoga, Jnana Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, and Hatha Yoga.Raja Yoga primarily is compiled in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, and known simply as yoga .
