The Philosophy of Yoga
What exactly IS yoga? The answer isn't simple. Yoga is part metaphysics and part philosophy, with a strong physical base. Yoga is about seeking the universal truth through simple practices, body rituals and techniques that tie in to its fundamental theme of yoking (connecting) the body with the infinite spirit of the universe. Indeed, the word "yoga" itself comes from the Sanskrit "yuj," which means to yoke or to join.
According to BKS Iyengar, proponent of a popular yoga form that bears his name, yoga is "the method by which the restless mind is calmed and the energy directed into constructive channels."
All About Re-Connecting with Your True Inner Self
What then is the core philosophy of yoga? Perhaps it is this: Despite our own true nature, people usually become far too distracted with their own mind and body and material objects. They lose sight of this fundamental truth. This false identification makes us feel imperfect, limited, sorrowful and at loss. Yoga seeks to provide people with a way to cast off this ignorance and become aware of their true divine self. The goal is to free a person from those imperfections and to unite him or her with their supreme universal self.
Yoga, then, is the union of the individual with absolute reality—and the yogi or yogini's journey is all about finding peace,harmony and the greatest truth of all.
