| Indeed many people live their whole lives like Thurber's grandmother believing something about something without ever
getting to know the truth. Yoga is no exception. Ask most people 'what is yoga?' and they will tell you that it is a form of stretching
to make you flexible. Far from it. Yoga is about bliss or joy. Yoga is not about being able to become into a pretzel but about attaining the state
of happiness.
Are you always under the grip of some chronic health problem? Does happiness seem to
always evade you? Do you always feel that something is missing in your life inspite of all your material acheivements?
If you answered 'Yes' to even one of the above questions, you came to the right place. Yoga is POWERFUL and effective in
solving life's problems, not just health related, but ALL kinds of problems.
Yoga is a holistic system known to be in existence since at least 5000 years in India. Most people associate yoga with a system of exercises but yoga is much more than that. For many centuries, yoga was passed on from guru to disciple through direct instruction. Around the year 300 BC a great yogi by the name of Patanjali systematized yoga into a system called Ashtanga Yoga. Patanjali enumerated the system of Ashtanga yoga in his famous work called The Yoga Sutras. The word Ashtanga in Sanskrit means 'eight-limbed'. Ashtanga yoga is an eight-step process that ensures happiness. For details of Ashtanga Yoga click the link What is Yoga.
