Yoga is at least about 5,000 years old. The Hindus of the Indus valley civilization developed yoga as a practical device to unite the individual self with the Brahman, the universal self. It was codified about 2,000 years back into a system by Patanjali in his work �Yoga Sutra.�

- Hatha Yoga
Patanjali collected the yoga knowledge available in 2 A.D. and wrote a treatise called �Yoga Sutra.� The yoga of Patanjali has 8 limbs to be practiced in sequence. They are Yama (restraint), Niyama (observance), Asana (posture), Pranayama (breathing), Pratyahara (withdrawal of senses), Dharana (concentration), Dhyana (meditation) and Samadhi (ecstasy). The end of yoga after Samadhi would be the union of individual consciousness with the universal consciousness.

- Yoga
Yoga, in Sanskrit, means, �to yoke together�. This is translated to mean the union of individual self, the �Atma,� with the universal self, the �Paramatma.� There are different methods to achieve this union. When we say Yoga in the present-day context, particularly in the Western countries, what we aim for is the harmony between body, mind and spirit.
