Yoga
Yoga (; Sanskrit, योगः, pronunciation) is a group of physical, mental, and spiritual practices or disciplines which originated in ancient India. There is a broad variety of yoga schools, practices, and goals in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. Among the most well-known types of yoga are Hatha yoga and Rāja yoga.
Yoga
Stirum sukham asanam. Meaning: Seated posture should be steady and comfortable.
Patanjali, in “The Little Red Book of Yoga Wisdom”, p. 134.
Yoga
Yoga practitioners advise the times around sunrise and sunset, well before eating a meal, as the best time for yoga and meditation practice. The science of biometeorology (the study of natural forces on human and animal life) tells us that the sun has a tremendous impact upon the lives of plants, animals, and human beings. Even our blood chemistry changes with the rising and setting of the sun! Therefore, there may be a chemical basis for the thousands of years of belief, in every spiritual tradition, that to meditate and pray at sunrise and sunset is somehow more effective, more auspicious.
Vimala Schneider McClure, in A Woman's Guide to Tantra Yoga, p. 106.
Yoga
Exercises are like prose, whereas yoga is the poetry of movements. Once you understand the grammar of yoga; you can write your poetry of movements.
Amit Ray, in “The Little Red Book of Yoga Wisdom”, p. 16.
