“Fear Not. What is not real, never was and never will be. What is real, always was and cannot be destroyed.” -The Wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita
The word yoga means “union” in Sanskrit, the language of ancient India where yoga originated. We can think of the union occurring between the mind, body and spirit.
What is commonly referred to as “yoga” can be more accurately described by the Sanskrit word asana, which refers to the practice of physical postures or poses.
Asana is only one of the eight “limbs” of yoga, the majority of which are more concerned with mental and spiritual well being than physical activity. In the West, however, the words asana and yoga are often used interchangeably.
Most yoga classes focus on learning physical poses, asanas. They also usually include some form of breathing technique, pranayama, and possibly a meditation technique as well. Some yoga classes are designed purely for relaxation, others for a head to toe workout. Golden Lights will work with you to cater to your yoga needs.
