Yoga-An
Ancient Art Form
The
word yoga takes us back to the ancient times and brings to mind a
plethora of images of extraordinary postures that seem impossible to
attempt, let alone master. Yoga is much more than mastering the various
postures or increasing your flexibility. It is an ancient practice that
involves various physical stances as well as several mental and
breathing exercises that cleanse our mind, body and soul.
Initially Yoga focused on helping the community. Slowly it changed its
focus to self-enlightenment as its ultimate goal. "The traditional
purpose of Yoga, however, has always been to bring about a profound
transformation in the person through the transcendence of the ego,"
(Feuerstein 3).
Yoga is a science that has transcended boundaries, language and culture
and has got worldwide acceptance. It is estimated that over 35 million
people practice yoga in America and U.K. Yoga has continued to evolve
over the years and now there are various disciplines that are
practiced.
The origins, the concept, the ultimate goal and the various benefits of
practicing such an ancient art form are still unknown to many. There
are many more aspects to practicing yoga than meets our eye or the many
benefits that are extolled by the corporate honchos trying to expand
their business and ride this relatively new fad.
Beyond the assumption that it started in India, the knowledge about
yoga takes a dip into the unknown. This eBook aims at enlightening you
and takes you into the wonderful yet mysterious world of Yoga.
