Yoga means union of the individual self (Jiva) with the Ultimate Reality (Brahman); it is the joining between one's individual consciousness and the Universal Consciousness.  In true yoga, the body, mind and spirit become one.  Essentially all beings living and non-living are one, coming from the same divine source - the same energy. 

Yoga is not (primarily) about the physical, asana, practice but about living consciously, in a state of awareness - not only for your own self but to everyone and everything. We are all manifestations of The Creator and are not separate from Him or each other; not even from the ant or the mountain, nor the trees or rats. We are all forms of energy or vibrations that come from the same source but have evolved over time.

Yoga is about being kind and compassionate to all creatures and beings, even inatimate objects. What you perceive is what you internalize and believe. Therefore, if you believe everything is good you will in turn feel good and radiate goodness from your heart and outward onto others. But it all must begin with your self.  

True yoga is meditation in action. It takes a dedicated practice to truly sit with one's own Self, comfortably, while drowning out all senses; letting go of the external world and mental thoughts to completely release the Ultimate Self unto God's grace and surrender to the Divine. 

Yoga is truth, humility, humbleness, and selflessness.  Yoga is becoming one with creation and the Creator.  Yoga allows us to let go of what we think is real and search within our consciousness to find the true Self.  True existence.  Sat Chit Ananda.  Pure existence, Divine Consciousness, Bliss Absolute.

OM Shanti, Shanti, Shanti.  Peace, Peace, Peace.
