Yoga is a way of life, a philosophy of living that strives for balance between the mind, body and spirit and seeks to maintain all these aspects of a person in a healthy and active state. The word Yoga means union and suggests the union of the body, mind and spirit. Yoga as it is commonly practiced around the world is called Hatha Yoga and was formalized by the sage Patajali in his work the Yoga Sutras. Patanjali is therefore known as the Father of Yoga. You can learn more about Yoga in the land of its birth - India, on Kerala tours with Kerala Backwater.

Hatha Yoga consists of a series of postures or asanas, which provide flexibility to the body and tones its muscles. The combination of various asanas can provide a complete workout and provide both physical and mental relaxation. The concentration and mental discipline as well as the breathing exercises of Yoga are an essential part of the practice of Yoga. The Ashtanga Yoga devised by Guru Patanjali is a complete plan for the holistic development of an individual. These eight steps are Disciplined Behavior (Yama), Self Purification (Niyama), Bodily Posture (Asana), Breath control (pranayama), Sensual control (Pratyahara), Concentration (Dharana), Meditation (Dhyana), Absolute state of tranquility and eternity (Samadhi).
