The word yoga means union. More than a set of physical practices, yoga is a path towards the highest goal of human life. His Holiness Jagadguru Swami Isa teaches that the ultimate aim of yoga is union with Total Consciousness—the state of permanent peace and bliss that is our true nature.
In everyday life, our thoughts and emotions are in constant activity and fluctuation, often without our even being aware of it. We become restless, energy is scattered, and despite our constant efforts to find happiness, lasting peace remains beyond our reach.
Yoga offers a path to unity. Through regular practice and the guidance of a spiritual master, the different dimensions of our being are gradually purified and brought into greater harmony. As inner disturbances diminish, we become able to experience a deeper peace and progress towards the realization of our true nature.
