Yoga
Yoga means union. Although many in the West automatically assume that yoga means Hatha Yoga and that it is primarily for physical fitness and health, the purpose of all yoga is to enable the practitioner to realize wholeness by reuniting body, mind, heart, and soul, ultimately awakening to enlightenment. Hatha Yoga is a physical, energetic, and spiritual practice suitable to any age, health status, or fitness level. Most styles of Hatha Yoga emphasize relaxing into the physical movements rather than straining to go further than your body is comfortable with. Generally speaking, don’t bother with yoga unless you intend to slow down. One exception is Astanga Yoga, a vigorous workout quite suitable for training athletes.
