What is Yoga? Why Yoga? For Whom?

We have recently become aware of the International Day of Yoga.

It was in December 2014 that the United Nations proclaimed 21 June as the Day.

However, for most of us the real meaning of Yoga got obscured. It simply is not a lifestyle matter nor an outer garment. Yoga is closely related to the mind and heart.

Being able to sit in Meditation is one of the profoundest gifts of Yoga. This can be practiced by all. It does not dependent on current health status or capability. Once we can begin to sit for 10 minutes doing NOTHING, something incredible happens. The cosmic force awakens. TiMe and SpAcE become friends.
