Yoga philosophy: union of body-mind-spirit

Definition of Yoga: Yoga originates from the Sanskrit word "yuj," meaning to yoke or unite. Yoga philosophy aims to unite the individual consciousness 

Body as a Vehicle: In yoga philosophy, the physical body (annamaya kosha) is seen as a vehicle for spiritual growth and self-realization

Mind and Emotional Balance: The mind (manomaya kosha) plays a crucial role in yoga philosophy, influencing thoughts, emotions, and perceptions. 

Connection with Spirit: Yoga philosophy acknowledges the existence of a deeper spiritual essence (atman or soul) within each individual.

Eight Limbs of Yoga: The classical yoga system, as outlined by Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras, consists of eight limbs (ashtanga yoga) that guide practitioners toward spiritual realization

Balance and Harmony: Yoga philosophy emphasizes the importance of achieving balance and harmony within oneself. 

Self-Realization: The ultimate goal of yoga philosophy is self-realization (moksha), liberation from suffering, and the realization of one's true identity beyond the limitations of the ego
