Department Of Yoga & Yoga Therapy



Yoga Refers To Traditional Physical And Mental Disciplines Originating In India. The Word Is Associated With Meditative Practices In Hinduism, Buddhism And Jainism. It Also Refers To One Of The Six Orthodox Schools Of Hindu Philosophy. Raja Yoga, Compiled In The Yoga Sutras Of Patanjali, And Known Simply As Yoga In The Context Of Hindu Philosophy, Is Part Of The Samkhya Tradition. Many Other Hindu Texts Discuss Aspects Of Yoga, Including Upanishads, The Bhagavad Gita, The Hatha Yoga Pradipika, The Shiva Samhita And Various Tantras. The Sanskrit Word Yoga Has Many Meanings, And Is Derived From The Sanskrit Root “Yuj”, Meaning “To Control”, “To Yoke” Or “To Unite.” Patanjali’s Writing Also Became The Basis For A System Referred To As “Ashtanga Yoga” (“Eight-limbed Yoga”).
