AS the Mind, Body & Soul blogger I have been pondering how to begin my blog and what might be a suitable subject to begin with. But as I continue to ponder another day passes and then another and the blog remains blank. So, I have decided to begin with a small treatise on yoga. Since yoga is actually a Sanskrit word meaning 'unity' and referring to the unity of the mind, body and soul it really is the best place to start.

Although yoga has its origins in ancient India, its methods and purposes are universal, relying not on cultural background, faith or deity, but on the individual. Over recent years yoga has become important in the lives of many westerners, sometimes as a way of improving health and fitness of the body and also as a means of personal development.

Yoga practice is associated with physical, emotional and spiritual benefits and by working through a sequence of postures, we start with the physical, which is the basic way in which we experience existence. Initially, you may notice some benefits such as increased flexibility and calm, with other benefits appearing more slowly as you cultivate a new awareness of your body and mind.
