 Yoga Supplies: Clothes, mats, music and videos
The word yoga comes from the Sanskirt work yuj. Yuj is often
interpreted to mean union or a method of practice. Male yoga
practitioners are called yogi and female practitioners are
called yogini.
Where did yoga come from?
It is believed that an Indian Sage named Patanjali created
one of the first comprehensive guides on yogi. The book, called
Yoga Sutra, was created approximately 2,000 years ago. This
collection still serves as the basis for most forms of yoga
practiced today.
The Yoga Sutra outlined the eight limbs of yoga as follows:
the yamas (restraints), niyamas (observances), asana (postures),
pranayama (breathing), pratyahara (withdrawal of senses),
dharana (concentration), dhyani (meditation), and samadhi
(absorption).
The goals of yoga and meditation
One of the goals of yoga is to reach a state of enlightenment.
Yoga is also

relaxation. There are numerous benefits to practicing yoga.
