Integrated Yoga

The term Yoga refers to both the end and the means. The literal meaning of the word being union, as the end it signifies the merging of an individual consciousness with the universal consciousness which is the culmination of human evolution. Every soul in this earth is moving towards that goal. As the natural evolution is extremely slow, the ancient wise of the world who had an intuitive knowledge of this fact devised various methods to hasten the process. The Indian method came to be known as yoga too.

Yoga has many branches such as Raja Yoga, Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, Gyana yoga and many more. One can choose a path that suits his or her nature and limitations. As it is not possible to practice any yoga when the body is weak and ailing, Hatha yoga became the basis of them all. But the masters recommend to integrate the different yogas for the best effect.
