As I continue with my yoga teacher training, I thought I would share with you a piece of yoga history that I learned about.

The Sanskrit root “yuj,” which meaning to yoke or unite, is where the word “yoga” originates. This illustrates how yoga emphasizes the unity of the mind, body, and spirit, reflecting its holistic nature. Furthermore, yoga has a long history. Its practice dates back thousands of years, and it has developed into many styles and methods over that time.

I hope you enjoyed this small slice of yoga history.

Namaste 🧘‍♀️
