Unquestionably, the best way to understand yoga is to experience it. Here we will try to define something that admittedly has many definitions. The following is a thumbprint sketch of a living tradition. It aims to integrate the diverse processes with which we understand the world and ourselves. It touches the physical, psychological, spiritual and mental realms that we inhabit.
Yoga can lead to greater capacity for creativity, richer relationships and enhanced sexuality.
There is increasing evidence that yoga helps mental and emotional problems such as anxiety and depression. Yoga promotes overall health and well-being, and can lead to increased ability to concentrate, greater capacity for creativity, richer relationships, enhanced sexuality and enjoyment in life. In ultimate terms this means realizing one's true nature and full Self-knowledge. We are at one with the greater cosmic forces of nature, not divided from them. Yoga recognizes the divine nature of all beings and things.
