 Yoga is a very ancient practice originating from India and designed to bring balance to one’s physical, mental, emotional and spiritual dimensions.

Yoga comprises eight aspects: yama - universal ethics, niyama - individual ethics, asana - physical postures, pranayama - breath control, pratyahara - control of the senses, dharana - concentration, dyana - meditation, and samadhi - bliss.
