Yoga is a sanskrit word that literally means "yoke" or "union" and in it's broadest sense a yogi is one who seeks union of body, mind, and soul.

The human condition is such that each of us must work through a process of reintegration during the course of our life in order to realize a state in which we are happy and free.

In various ways we may sense an inability to feel as free and happy as we know we could be and may long for things to be different.

 Yoga is an approach toward harnessing or unifying the various aspects of our existence - our body, mind and soul- so that we can move toward that place, or space, where we are one with the whole of existence.

Some call this space GOD, some call it ONENESS; yoga calls it SAMADHI.

It is a state of total absorption into the very stuff of existence.
