What is Yoga?

 The word yoga means to “yoke” or “to bring together”. What is it that we want to “bring together”? We want to bring aspects of ourselves that seem to be segmented. Our body, mind and breath, among other things, appear disconnected from one another.

Hatha yoga

Hatha yoga is the yoga of physical effort. Hatha is a Sanskrit word which means “force”. It is what we usually have to do when we are trying to bring about change in our lives and it is the beginning of our journey to wholeness.
