Derived termsFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Yoga (Sanskrit, Pāli: योग yóga) refers to traditional physical and mental disciplines originating in India. The word is associated with meditative practices in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. In Hinduism, it also refers to one of the six orthodox (āstika) schools of Hindu philosophy, and to the goal toward which that school directs its practices. In Jainism it refers to the sum total of all activities—mental, verbal and physical. Major branches of yoga in Hindu philosophy include Raja Yoga, Karma Yoga, Jnana Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, and Hatha Yoga. Raja Yoga, compiled in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, and known simply as yoga in the context of Hindu philosophy, is part of the Samkhya tradition. Many other Hindu texts discuss aspects of yoga, including Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita, the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, the Shiva Samhita and various Tantras. The Sanskrit word yoga has many meanings, and is derived from the Sanskrit root yuj, meaning "to control", "to yoke" or "to unite". Translations include "joining", "uniting", "union", "conjunction", and "means". Outside India, the term yoga is typically associated with Hatha Yoga and its asanas (postures) or as a form of exercise. Someone who practices yoga or follows the yoga philosophy is called a Yogi.

The guys on my yoga tapes are bendy to the extreme though. Any yoga gurus out there, please let me know how many months, years, etc. it takes to have a great range of motion, and a ton of flexibility. Asked by andy_pann - Tue Oct 10 23:19:27 2006 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. It's a case by case basis. Being a 'yoga pro' isn't about bendibility. The fact is we are born with a set range of motion. The muscles hold about 20% of the flexibility. The ligaments only 4%. So, once you've worked out all the flexibility that is being held in the muscules, you only have 4% left to go and if you go over that level, then you can hurt yourself and damage the ligaments (in other words, don't do it - don't over push yourself past pain ). The other thing about yoga is the spiritual aspect which comes with letting go of expectation, judgement and competition. This is more important than the flexibility and physical balance that we observe. So, once we've mastered those inner voices - once we've let go of those things… [cont.] Answered by Alex B - Tue Oct 17 18:31:14 2006 How much does a yoga teacher get paid for a class? Q. I want to do some financial planning around how much I can earn as a yoga teacher. Can anyone help? Asked by ass - Mon Nov 19 09:27:28 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. You set the wage. Some Establishments pay you by the hour and others ask you to invoice them. Make sure you put please pay in 30 days or you will be charged. Some compaines take forever to pay you. How much do you think you are worth? Seriously, thou from experience if you charge to much people will not come and if you are too cheap, people will think you are rubbish. Why not telephone others and find out how much they get paid in your areas. I teach meditation and I charge 20 - 30 per hour. It depends where I work in the country and who I am teaching. For kids its more cheaper than adults. If you want any more info, email me. Good luck . Blessed Be X Answered by Fairycakes - Mon Nov 19 09:43:00 2007 What is the best type of yoga to do at home?
Q. I want to start doing yoga at home. Can anyone reconmend someone really good for relaxing and toning? Please tell me your experiance. Asked by Do Over - Mon Dec 18 20:49:46 2006 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. I like the "PraiseMoves" DVD. It's great for relaxation because unlike most yoga, it doesn't get you to empty your mind (which is boring and pointless) but to fill it with positive thinking!! I have also found that the postures are very similar to the exercises recommended by my fiance's chiropracter for leg, back, neck, etc. strengthening.
