Yoga is an ancient science and practice, which originated in India over 5000 years ago to address physical, mental and spiritual development. The word 'Yoga' is a Sanskrit term derived from the root 'Yuj', which means to yoke, join or unite. There are many different styles of yoga. Some styles are fast paced and vigorous while others are very gentle and slow-moving.
