Modern Aurobindo · Coomaraswamy · Dayananda Saraswati · Gandhi · Krishnananda · Narayana Guru · Prabhupada · Ramakrishna · Ramana Maharshi · Radhakrishnan · Sivananda · Vivekananda · Yogananda This box:Yoga (Sanskrit, Pāli: योग yóga) refers to traditional physical and mental disciplines originating in India. The word is associated with meditative practices in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. Within Hinduism, it also refers to one of the six orthodox (āstika) schools of Hindu philosophy, and to the goal towards which that school directs its practices. In Jainism, yoga is the sum total of all activities — mental, verbal and physical. Major branches of yoga in Hindu philosophy include Rāja Yoga, Karma Yoga, Jnana Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, and Hatha Yoga. According to the authoritative Indian philosopher Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, yoga, based on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, comprises one of the six main Hindu schools of philosophy (darshanas), together with Kapila's Samkhya, Gautama's Nyaya, Kanada's Vaisheshika, Jaimini's Purva Mimamsa, and Badarayana's Uttara Mimamsa or Vedanta. Many other Hindu texts discuss aspects of yoga, including the 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". Translations include "joining", "uniting", "union", "conjunction", and "means". It is also possible that the word yoga derives from "yujir samadhau," which means "contemplation" or "absorption." This translation fits better with the dualist Raja Yoga because it is through contemplation that discrimination between prakrti (nature) and purusha (pure consciousness) occurs. Outside India, the term yoga is typically associated with Hatha Yoga and its asanas (postures) or as a form of exercise. Someone who practices yoga or follows the yoga philosophy to a high level of attainment is called a yogi or yogini. From Wikipedia under the

Q. I'm interested in Yoga and would like to buy some DVDs so I can start doing it at home -- can anyone who's experienced with Yoga give me any tips for buying the right DVD? Asked by Elle - Wed Jun 7 02:22:48 2006 - - 5 Answers - 2 Comments A. Make sure you get a DVD that is for beginners, there are tons out there...once you get the basics down you can start looking at the programs to target your specific needs. The important thing is just to start slow, especially if you are doing so in your home without an instructor to correct improper posture, so that you do not injure yourself. Yoga.com has some excellent choices for beginning yoga: Answered by yogazen - Fri Jun 9 12:23:55 2006 I am been practicing Ananda Yoga but recently started Kundalini Yoga, is it beneficial to practice both? Q. These two types of Yoga are so different, is it beneficial to do both or do you focus on only one? Kundalini is far more aggressive in it's physical approach but also has more chanting. Very different from Hatha Yoga! But I enjoy both approaches. What do the Yoga experts say? Asked by jersey girl in exile - Thu Jan 17 15:03:31 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. I'm not a yoga expert but i think a mix between the two can be beneficial for your health as it can help you with different parts of the body and have a variety rather than just one type of method.

Q. Hello everyone, I want to try Yoga for the first time. I m seriously out of shape, having lots of muscle aches and I m suffering from severe depression. I ve hear the many great benefits from Yoga; I don t know where to start. What beginners DVD would you recommend for me? Asked by gisela312 - Tue Jun 9 14:22:04 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. By saying you are out of shape, I'm taking a guess that you might be a little overweight (although those aren't always synonymous). If that is the case, I would recommend anything by Megan Garcia. She has a book titled "MegaYoga" and I think her DVD is "Just My Size" or it's been repackaged as "MegaYoga". Anyway, she's studied at Kripalu, is a plus-size model, and has modifications to traditional poses that are a little difficult for beginners to do. I'm about her size and found her material to be great when I started yoga a few years ago. Rodney Yee has some good DVD's as well. He's pretty much the "guru of yoga" and a great teacher, but his work can be a little intimidating to those totally new to yoga.
