Yoga 101

Many of you may be asking what is Hatha Yoga, where does it come from, and how can it help me? The word yoga comes from the Sanskrit meaning to "bind" and has also been interpreted to mean "union".

Hatha is a combination of two words, ha meaning "sun" and tha meaning "moon". Hatha signifies the balance between hot and cool, or masculine and feminine energies that reside within us all. It is estimated that yoga originated between 2000-5000 years ago in India.
  
It was around 2000 years ago that the Indian sage Patanjali is thought to have given us " The Yoga Sutra", a philosophical guide from which we base most of our knowledge of this ancient path.In it Patanjali outlined what are known as the "eight limbs of yoga".
