Welcome to my Yoga blog

I started practising Yoga 6 years ago, first, almost from boredom, just to occupy myself for couple of hours, without clear understanding what is Yoga.
Since then it become part of my life. I practice regulary in group and individually, personaly expiriencing all Yoga blessings on physical, mental and emotional health.
I try to learn more about this ancient and still so contemporary science. Sometime ago I’ve subscribe for Yoga Teaching course, in order to systematise my learning process and be able to help others to find their Yoga path.
I will be posting here the essential, interesting or usefull information. You are welcome to comment or correct, if you spot mistakes, in comment field.
Namaste.

1. Explain the meaning of the word yoga.

There are few meanings of the word “Yoga”, depending on the context, the word used in.
Literal translation from Sanskrit is “Union”, which reflects also the end-goal of yogic practice, as it is reaching the condition, when body, mind and soul are united. So experience of this union is Yoga.
Also practice as the process is called Yoga.
In “western” culture often by “Yoga” is meant only practice of Asanas.
