The word Yoga comes from the Sanskrit word “Yuj” meaning to yoke, join or unite. This implies joining or integrating all aspects of the individual – body with mind and mind with soul – to achieve a happy, balanced and useful life, and spiritually, uniting the individual with the supreme.

According to the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, the ultimate aim of Yoga is to reach “Kaivalya” (emancipation or ultimate freedom). This is the experience of one’s innermost being or “soul” (the Purusa). Then one becomes free of chains of cause and effect (Karma) which tie us to continual reincarnation. In Kaivalya one is said to exist in peace and tranquillity, having attained absolute knowledge of the difference between the spiritual which is timeless, unchanging and free of sorrows, and the material which is not.

This is considered desirable as life is analysed as ultimately full of sorrows and pain- even pleasure and joy leave pain and loss when they have gone as nothing in the material world is permanent.

Yoga is therefore a spiritual quest. However, along the path of yoga, the aspirant also gains health, happiness, tranquillity and knowledge which are indicators of progress and an encouragement to continue their practice. Buddhism and other Eastern spiritual traditions use many techniques derived from Yoga.

We all know that yoga is now acknowledged as a holistic form of exercise, and people throughout the world practice various forms of yoga. Each form has its own significance and benefits in improving a person’s physical and mental well being.

One of the goals of yoga is to attain self-discipline and self-awareness.

In the Patanjali Yogasutra, self-discipline is known as ‘Tapas‘.

Here are some guidelines that can help in maintaining consistency with yoga practice:

Have an early and light dinner at least 2-3 hours before you sleep.

Maintain a regular sleep schedule and ensure that you get 7-8 hours of sleep.

Avoid using electronic gadgets like laptop, mobile phone, etc., or watching TV for a long time in the night, because it can affect your sleep.

Practice yoga at a fixed time and place, to avoid irregularity in time and lethargy in choosing a place.

Team work: To avoid discontinuing yoga practice, and make it more interesting, you can practice with a group or with friends, thus making it a teamwork, enjoying the activity, and achieving benefits together.
