Yoga is not about twist your body...
Yoga is not only a physical activity ...
What does yoga mean?
The word ‘yoga’ means to connect, unite or ‘yoke’. The thing we look to connect to is the true Self, also known as the ‘divine essence’, ‘ultimate self’, or atman. You might also think of this as the soul.
It's a lifestyle of keeping a balance between Body, mind and Soul,
A balance between Energy production and utilizing control,
A balance between materialistic world and spiritual world
