The word “yoga” comes from the sanskrit word “yuj” which means, “to unite.” Hence, yoga is the way to unite the body, mind & soul together.

Yoga is the technology used by Yogis for thousands of years in India to make their inner system perfect & unite their soul with cosmos to get the enlightenment.
