,•Yoga means "union" in Sanskrit, which is the language
of ancient India where it is believed that yoga
originated. This union is said to occur between the mind,
body, and spirit.
•Today, we define yoga as a discipline that focuses on
the body’s posture, musculature, breathing
mechanisms, and consciousness.
•The goal of yoga is to attain physical and mental well-
being through the mastery of the body. This is achieved
through meditation, proper breathing, holding of
postures, and exercise.
•There are many different types of yoga. The majority of
them are more concerned with mental and spiritual well-
being rather than physical activity.
, • Tirumalai Krishnamacharya (18 November 1888 –
28 February 1989) was an Indian yoga teacher,
ayurvedic healer and scholar. Often referred to as
"the father of modern yoga," Krishnamacharya is
widely regarded as one of the most influential
yoga teachers of the 20th century.
