Yoga is a discipline for training the consciousness for a state of perfect spiritual insight and tranquillity through a system of exercises that, when practiced as part of this discipline, promote control of the body and mind.

The word "yoga" comes from the Sanskrit root yuj,
which means "to join" or "to yoke"

When practiced concientiously, yoga will lead you to a sense of peace and well-being and "one-ness" with the universe, as well as physically strengthen the body and increase balance and flexibility.

Yoga is not a religion—the practice of yoga is no way at odds with your religious beliefs. On the contrary, the increased awareness yoga brings may deepen your existing spitritual practice.

Dao Yin, or "chinese yoga", is an ancient body-mind exercise for health care, and physical and spiritual purification.
