Yoga means simply the union. It is the harmony of existence. It is derived from Sanskrit word “Yuj” which means to join or bind. Yoga is the total combination of body, mind and spirit. It is the union of the individual consciousness to universal consciousness (lower self to higher self) and its incorporation within our daily lives. When our bodily soul unites with the Supreme Soul which transcends to the enlightenment state, it is called yoga. Union of the lower self with the universal plane is also known as yoga.Learn about Introduction of Yoga
