Yoga is the oldest form of personal development. Yoga means union, and in essence, yoga is the search for union – the union of body, mind, spirit and soul, on a higher level it is the search of the individual self to unite with the higher universal self.
The simplest form of yoga, of union, lies in Namaskar – a traditional Indian greeting, it means ‘welcome’ and you bring the palms of your hands together as a sign of respect.
