Yoga is one of the most ancient methods of personal growth known to mankind which tends to bring balance to the body-mind-spirit axis. Yoga is a true and complete science of the mechanisms of life, originating in India and the Himalaya region thousands of years ago.
The ancient practitioners of yoga possessed a deep understanding of human nature and of everything that man needs to live in harmony with himself and his surroundings. They perceived the body as a vehicle guided by the mind, but they also knew that man's true identity was his Self, the spiritual spark that animates him. In order to allow for integral development, the three forces must be balanced.
By taking into consideration the interaction between body-mind-spirit, Yoga practitioners have formulated a common method to maintain this balance, a method which combines all of the movements necessary to good physical health with breathing, as well as meditation techniques, which ensure peace of mind.
