The Philosophy of Yoga is practical and applicable in our day-to-day living. The practice of Yoga is a process of self-discovery. It is an awakening of long deep rooted memories of whom and what we really are! Yoga, as union, implies perfect harmony of body and mind. It implies the harmonious integration of personality. The most common benefit of Yoga practice is the sense of well-being at all levels of our existence.
