Yoga is a complete science of life that originated in India many thousands of years ago. It is the oldest system of personal development in the world encompassing the entire body, mind and spirit. It is the union between the Jivataman and parmatman ie. between one's Individual Consciousness and the Universal Consciousness.The word yoga means''join together''and it brings body mind and spirit together into one harmonious experience
The first sutra of Patanjali yoga is ''ATHA YOGA ANUSHASHANAM''
Atha means therefore;anushashanam means inner discipline
Anu is a root word which means subtle aspect of the inner nature
Shashan means to rule or govern.So according to this sutra,knowing the expressions of the mind and personality is yoga
With the knowledge of yoga,transformation takes place in our nature and mental clarity is obtained.This is an inner achievement which is reflected on our Physical dimension and behaviour pattern and attitudes towards the society
