Yoga is an integral part of our tradition. It is India’s gift to the world. The word yoga means union. The union here refers to experiential reality of oneness. It is training the mind and body to synchronize between themselves and then synchronize the being with the cosmic energy. Yoga is essentially a spiritual discipline. It is an art and science of healthy living. Thus the aim of yoga is self-actualization. It is globally accepted by the UNO declaration. 11th December is celebrated as International Yoga Day.
