Yoga originated in India over 5,000 years ago when it was practised and taught by \”yogis\” as a tool for physical, mental and spiritual enlightenment. The word \”yoga\” comes from Sanskrit and means \”union\”. The central belief being that health and well-being are derived from physical, mental and spiritual harmony.

Yoga and its popularity in the west can be attributed to our need to counter the stresses of modern-day life. In the high pressured environment in which most of us live, yoga offers an alternative approach to health based on our five basic principles – exercise, breathing, relaxation, diet and meditation. Yogic practices demand self-discipline, but perseverance can lead to a profound sense of well-being and contentment.
