From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yoga, from the verbal root yuj - to yoke, is perhaps the most central concept in Ancient Indian religions.It first and foremost refers to the plethora of religious practices by which one can aim to escape samsara. In Ancient India it was understood as a transformation of the mind, a prerequisite to attaining liberation from earthly bonds. Currently the most popular form in the West is hatha yoga, a system of bodily exercises and postures (asana) initially intended to prepare the body for meditation. It is now generally practiced in the west as a fitness exercise.
