In the Western world, yoga is often synonymous with a physical regimen involving various postures and breathing techniques. However, rooted in the rich tapestry of ancient philosophy, yoga embodies a practice far more deep-seated, offering a harmonious blend of mind, body, and spirit. The philosophy encourages living with awareness, understanding, and consciousness, fostering a journey towards self-discovery and enlightenment.
