Yoga is unique in providing not only an intellectual framework, but also actual experiences that support the conceptual or theoretical model. Yoga is a science of self, personal and direct, not theoretical or dogmatic. Yoga is a set of practices to help quiet one's body, mind, and emotions. The skill is in the act, not tied to a specific end or goal. Yoga is pleasurable, enjoyable and meaningful in the manner of more conventional hobbies and pastimes.
Yoga is popular.
Some six million people in the United States practice it. Yoga is a process of pinpointing and correcting imbalances, especially in awareness, acceptance and adaptation. What Yoga Is NOT Yoga is NOT a religion. It is a spiritual science, but makes no statement about God. Yoga evolved out of the Hindu tradition and draws on some of the beliefs.
