What is yoga?

Unification is the meaning of yoga. It connects the body to the soul. A body is meaningless without its spirit, just as it is meaningless without exercise. The ultimate goal of yoga is to achieve ultimate happiness or freedom which is called ‘nirvana’ or ‘moksha’. The person who has been practicing yoga is known as a yogi. They are believed to be the highest beings as they have achieved the ultimate liberalization and their soul’s consciousness has met the universe’s consciousness. Yoga is different from other forms of exercise because other exercises involve rigorous movement of body whereas yoga involves slow movement of body which includes deep breathing. It strengthens the core.

There are different types of asanas, such as Shirsasana, Sarvangasana, Halaasana, Kakasana, Dhanurasana, Trikonasana, Sukhasana, Gomukhasana, etc. One should be mindful while practicing it.
