Yoga

Yoga is a multifaceted practice that originated in ancient India, encompassing physical postures, breathing techniques, and meditation to achieve a state of liberation and self-awareness. The word 'yoga' is derived from the Sanskrit term 'yuj' meaning 'to unite' or 'to join'. Yoga aims to balance the body's energy, calm the mind, and awaken the spirit. Yoga is recognized as a form of mind-body therapy. According to some sources, yoga has been incorporated into various fitness and wellness programs, including Pilates and fitness classes.
