Yoga is a spiritual discipline based on an extremely subtle science, which focuses on bringing harmony between mind and body. It is considered as an art and science for healthy living. As per Yogic scriptures, the practice of Yoga leads to the union of individual consciousness with that of the Universal Consciousness, indicating a perfect harmony between the mind and body. The aim of Yoga is Self-realization, to overcome all kinds of sufferings leading to ‘the state of liberation’ (Moksha) or ‘freedom’ (Kaivalya). Living with freedom in all walks of life, health and harmony shall be the main objective of Yoga practice.
