The word
Yoga means to "yoke" mind, body and soul, originated
sometime around 4th century BC. Through the practice of Yoga,
one unites body, mind and soul. Yoga Asanas (poses) keep one's
body young, dynamic, supple, strong and healthy. Yoga is the
divine science, which disentangles the Jiva (Human) from the
phenomenal world of sense objects and links him with the Ananat
Ananda (infinite bliss). Yoga and its sutras were invented
and developed by Sage Patanjali during that era. The common
Yoga is also known as Patanjali's Ashtang Yoga (An Eight part
process)
