The word ‘Yoga’ is derived from the Sanskrit root ‘Yuj’, meaning ‘to join’ or ‘to yoke’ or ‘to unite’.
ORIGINE OF YOGA
The practice of Yoga is believed to have started with the very dawn of
civilization. The science of yoga has its origin thousands of years ago, long
before the first religions or belief systems were born. In the yogic lore,
Shiva is seen as the first yogi or Adiyogi, and the first Guru or Adi Guru.
