Yoga with its origins in India is an ancient spiritual practice that means enlightenment. This ancient art of meditation and exercise brings mind, body and soul in alignment with the creator with benefits like inner-peace, clear thought process and lower stress levels.
Anyone who cares about their health often focuses on keeping his or her body in peak condition. Who considers the health of the mind? A psychiatrist or a psychologist is concerned with behavior, and mental health, but how can Yoga help you?
Jnana means the knowledge. This yoga is the yoga for the intelligent and selected people. This yoga is the ultimate goal of all the other varieties of yoga. This yoga teaches you to look at the world as it is without any ignorance and bias.
Yoga originated in India around 3,000 to 4,000 years ago, the word originates from the Sanskrit yuj and translates into English as ‘to join’. It is not, as some have believed, a religion, but a philosophy, encompassing exercise, and mental enlightenment through meditation. Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, Jnana Yoga, and Raja Yoga are considered the four main yogas, each with their different sub-divisions, though there are many other types.
