What is the meaning of yoga?

The word yoga derives from Sanscrit, the oldes language of the planet- the "latin" of India. Yoga comes from the stem "yuj" which means "connection" - a connection between the real self, the soul, and the origin of the soul. Reestablishing this connection is the goal of all practices and helps us to achieve a perfect harmony within ourselves and the surrounding world.

The exercises most commonly known throughout Europe and the US, the asanas, belong to Hatha Yoga, which is a part of the eightfold yoga, Ashtanga Yoga. Ashtanga Yoga belongs to one of the three main paths, Jnana Yoga, the yoga of knowledge. The other paths are Karma Yoga, the yoga of fulfilling human duties, and Bhakti Yoga, the yoga of transcendental dedication.

Inbound Yoga brings together advantages of all three paths and enables the practitioner to reach perfect harmony of body, mind and soul.
