Why do you practice Yoga?

Why do you practice Yoga? Do you expect to live a more harmonious life? Does it make you feel healthier? Yoga as Sanctuary is a fantastic article about letting go of instant gratification and letting Yoga take you through the journey of achieving prosperity, pleasure, virtue and freedom.

Yoga comes from the Sanskrit work “Yuj” which means to yoke, join or unite. It is the joining or integrating all aspects of the individual to achieve a happy, balanced and useful life. The article above mentions that the aim of Yoga is fourfold. This aim, really, is using the practice of Yoga to help achieve four goals, or Purusharthas.

Please take a minute to read the article! You may just feel a little different about why you practice Yoga after!
