Meaning of Yoga Yoga is a 5000-year-old tradition. In India monks went into seclusion for years with the goal of creating a dis-ease free strong body. The original intention was to be able to sit in meditation for hours but with a achy body that is impossible to do. The postures of yoga were each created for a specific health purpose.

Yoga has become more popular than ever, with celebrities, politicians, business people, and almost every walk of life currently practicing. The important thing to understand about this way of thinking is yoga is not a religion. People from any background can surely reap its benefits.
