A combination of our time

Everybody heard about yoga, but what is exactly Yoga and where does it come from? Yoga is a Sanskrit word, it means “union” (union with the deep in-self).
The first evidences of its existence are in the Indus valley, there are no text but artefacts, archeological objects such as seal, terracota postures which present the origin of this philosophy. One of the oldest is the kundalini one, which is part of the Tantra culture.
Nowadays people sees yoga as something related to the body, something that you do with the body, but the Yogi never thought that,  tradition sees it as a way to reach the enlightenment: “use the body, you have one” but it is clearely about the breath and especially the mind. Basically hot yoga is not set up to give you flat abs but to understand spirituality through energizing exercises and meditation. It s easy to get lost in the complexity of life.
Life is the journey – if you want to manage your trip you need to balance it –
Yoga is not in contradiction with the modern world, you can totally integrate a regular practice in your everyday s life, or at least once a week.
