Yoga derives from ancient Indian spiritual practices and an explicitly religious element of Hinduism (although yogic practices are also common to Buddhism and Jainism).

“Yoga is an art, science and philosophy. It helps to join the powers of body, mind and soul for achieving self-realisation. Modern medical science has validated that the practice of yoga not only reduces stress but has multiple long-lasting beneficial effects.

Yoga is an art form in which the mind, body and soul are all connected and act as one. While people practice yoga for different reasons, the effect it has on everyone’s mind, body and soul is the same. Yoga helps people relax and find inner peace and strength. Meditation is a big part of yoga.

The science of yoga is the scientific basis of modern yoga as exercise in human sciences such as anatomy, physiology, and psychology. Yoga helps to maintain bone strength, joint mobility, and joint stability.

Yoga is a popular exercise that focuses on breathing, strength, and flexibility. Practicing yoga may provide many physical and mental health benefits.

Yōga (洋画, literally “Western-style painting”) is a style of artistic painting in Japan, typically of Japanese subjects, themes, or landscapes, but using Western (European) artistic conventions, techniques, and materials.

The science and art of yoga is truly the way to discover the ‘inner-being’ and be at one with the universal consciousness. The essence of yoga is not the betterment of the physical body only, but to unite the body, mind and soul in a beautiful embrace and cherish the resulting union.

One of the basic definitions of art is, ‘the expression or application of our creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form like a painting or sculpture or something else’. Now, when we look at the body of a yogi in an asana, the first thing that strikes us is the poise, elegance and grace with which he/she pulls off the pose.

Yoga is indeed a ‘Systematic study of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment’.
