[Quick links] [Pause] Many modern Yoga teachers define Yoga as union. Union withwhat? Many definitions have been given. But the fact remains thatmost of us mean body exercises, when we say Yoga. It is aboutmanipulation of the body, it is about fitness of the body, it isabout ‘control’ of the body and its instincts. That is the domainof Hatayoga.
So, what is this union about?
Patanjali Yoga goes a step further. It talks about movingbeyond the body and mind. It talks about the soul. And if at all youcan use such a word, it talks about uniting with your real self, orattaining Kaivalya – a state where the soul is completely free.
But is that the end? That is what we will be seeing in thisepisode.
