Beginners guide to Yoga #1
I for a long time have been wanting to adopt a discipline in my daily routine. One of the main improvement I wanted to do was the physical exercise. I been going for a jog in the mornings, but come rainy season I have to cancel the jog, and this resulted in loosing the consistency. I am not a big fan of push ups-pull ups and other exercises. Being a seeker of truth myself yoga was the option I decided to choose. I believe yoga way suited me better.

Yoga
lōkāḥ samastāḥ sukhinōbhavantu Let all the people in the world be happy Introduction The physical, mental and spiritual practices or disciplines which originated in ancient India's Sanatana culture (modern day Hinduism). Sanskrit word Yoga is derived from its Sanskrit root Yuj meaning 'to attach, join'. The spiritual meaning here falls in line with the word because in Hindu culture, it is believed that all our souls are a fragment of one Supreme God soul. The goal of each human is to merge back to the God. Yoga is believed to be one of the paths to achieve this spiritual goal. Since Buddhism and Jainism is also rooted with the Sanatana dharma there are broad varieties of yoga teachings/practices too.
