About This Quote
Yoga, or "Yoga" is a yoga that practices postures and meditation in order to attain mastery of the self. It is a science of the mind and body. "Yoga means union. It means merging with the divine." According to Sivananda Saraswati Yoga is not only physical exercise but also mental purification.
The word yoga is derived from the Sanskrit term yuj, which translates as union, absorption or combination. In Sanskrit, meaning "union," it refers to a state of being or action. In Hindu philosophy it refers to a process of conscious control of the mind over the life processes through which all beings evolve from their original state of consciousness to perfection.
