WHAT IS YOGA? The word yoga is a Sanskrit word derived from the root yuj, which means “union” or “to join”. Recently taken to mean that the mind, body and spirit are all joined together (Micozzi, 2011). Essentially, yoga is a series of performing postural and breathing techniques to induce relaxation.

HISTORY OF YOGA Yoga dates back to around 1500 BC in the Indus Valley (Micozzi, 2011) The tradition of yoga had always been passed down through oral teaching. The first written teachings of yoga were compiled by Patanjali in 200 BC. Yoga likely arrived in the United States in the late 1800’s (American Yoga Association, 2006).

YOGA AND RELIGION Yoga is not a religion. There is a common misconception that yoga is derived from Hinduism (American Yoga Association, 2006). Yoga has not singular creed or ritual through which supporters profess their faith (Catalfo,2014).

FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS Yogic Philosophy addresses the basic questions of human life:
-Who am I?-Why am I here?-What is the nature of suffering? (Micozzi, 2011)
Those who live yogic lifestyle generally life a lifestyle in alignment with the yoga sutras (ACE, 2010). Practicing yoga exercise is different than living a yogic lifestyle.
