The Invaluable Gift of Yoga: Ancient bloom for the modern world

Yoga is a unique contribution of ancient Indian civilisation to the modern world. The word ‘Yoga’ literally means ‘to unite’.

Yoga was conceived 5,000 years ago, in the Indian subcontinent. The Upanishads, composed in the 8th or 9th century BCE as a collection of beautiful verses, crystallised deep philosophical ideas that had a timeless quality and a vision of life in which yoga was a fundamental factor.

Yoga is a deep study of the universal nature of humankind, not just a science of the mere physical world.

Yoga has a vision of oneness in all that there is around us. It is a vision of great harmony and works towards integrating us with eternal reality.
