Yoga is a physical, mental and spiritual practice that originated in ancient India.

The word yoga is derived from the Sanskrit root yuj, meaning "to yoke," or "to unite". The practice aims to create union between body, mind and spirit, as well as between the individual self and universal consciousness. Such a union tends to neutralize ego-driven thoughts and behaviours, creating a sense of spiritual awakening… International yoga divas par aap sabko mera shat shat pranam Aur bahot bahot aabhar mere guruwon ka jinki madad se meri ye journey yahan tak pahunchi thank you @chaitanyatirth and @rohitflowyoga".
