Yoga

The Sanskrit word Yoga has a wide range of meanings. It derives from the root yuj, which means “unite”. But what does Yoga join? The first step is to rediscover the lost harmony and unity among the various plans we are made of: physical, mental and spiritual. According to the traditional philosophy, when the individual soul, or jîvâtman, is reduced to its original state, it ‘s possible to connect with the soul and divine, or universal paramâtman.
A man along the road of Yoga, is not meant to feel like a cell separated from the body or on an island, instead he is expected to rediscover the sense of belonging to a larger entity.
The hatha yoga consists of a complex of physical exercises, or âsana, which control the breathing (more properly, prâna ,"breath of life"), or prânâyâma, a technique perfected over the centuries by generations of yogi.
The practice of hatha yoga tends to achieve psychophysical balance, a greater awareness of our life processes, either physiological or, more generally, those related to the body in its entirety.
How do we reach this balance and this awareness? With a constant and regular practice.
If we look at the meaning of the hatha word, we will find out that it means precisely "effort", "stubborn", "pertinacity.
Yoga is therefore the main way to change the physical and mental state of those who practice it.
Some of the most obvious benefits are:
 General health improvement
Greater calm and ability to concentrate;
Improving in muscle tone and mobility;
Body weight control;

Greater vitality in old age.
However, let ‘s remember that one of the main principles of yoga is not to seek the results of its actions (karma yoga): yoga will work anyway, regardless of the results.
