is a fantastic means to overcome the problems that modern man has to deal with.

Yoga is a timeless pragmatic science evolved over thousands of years dealing with the physical, moral, mental and spiritual well being of man as a whole.�
The word yoga is derived from the Sanskrit meaning to bind, join, attach and yoke, to direct and concentrate one's attention.
The system of Yoga is so called because it teaches the means by which the individual soul (Jivatma) can be united to or be in communion with the Cosmos (Paramatma) and so secure liberation (Moksha).
When the restlessness of the mind, intellect and self is stilled through the practice of Yoga, the yogi by the grace of the spirit within himself finds fulfillment. Yoga has also been described as wisdom in work or skillful living amongst activities with harmony and moderation.
The study of yoga is different from working for a diploma or university degree. One cannot expect favourable results in a stipulated time. The obstacles, the trials and tribulations in the path of yoga have to be confronted and can be removed only with the help of a Guru.
The relationship between the Guru and shishya is special and transcends that between a parent and child, husband and wife or friends.
A Guru has to be free from egotism while a shishya must possess the necessary qualities for higher realization and development. He must have confidence, devotion and love for his Guru.
