What is Yoga?
Yoga is an ancient practice that originated in India thousands of years ago. It combines physical postures (asanas), controlled breathing techniques (pranayama), meditation, and mindfulness to create a holistic approach to health and well-being. The word "yoga" itself means to unite or join, symbolizing the connection between mind, body, and spirit.
