Despite
its very ancient origins, Yoga has experienced an explosion of
popularity in America in the last few decades.Literally millions of people have tried Yoga to different
degrees.Famous celebrities like Madonna, Carlos Santana, Sting and
even Chelsea Clinton are known to be avid Yoga practitioners.Yoga's recent popularity is due to the fact that it offers
a very easy, rational and enjoyable way to achieve deep levels of
relaxation and physical reinvigoration.Despite its amazing growth in popularity, however, even
many serious practitioners see Yoga as nothing more than a series
of powerful physical exercises designed to give one a perfect
body.While Yoga will certainly give us the physical health,
energy, stamina and strength that we're seeking, this is not the
primary goal of Yoga.Yoga is infinitely more than just the "aerobics of
India".More...
Teachings of Yoga
Followers of the path of Yoga believe in one, all-pervasive
and all-loving Supreme Being. God is both transcendent and immanent
in all things. God has unlimited names and forms. Though worshiped
in different ways in different religious and spiritual paths, there
is only one God.
Every living being is spiritual in essence, though not all beings
may be aware of this fact at present. All souls are spiritually
evolving towards the eventual goal of union with God, and all will
ultimately attain salvation, or moksha.

Aphorism of the Day
Negative emotions - such as fear, sadness, depression, grief, and guilt - cannot be ignored. But neither should they be given power that they don't have. All negative emotions can be overcome with God's love, just as shadows naturally disappear in the clear presence of light.
