What is Yoga?

The word "Yoga" means "connection". The aim of Yoga is to achieve a connection. Rather re-connection - for make it clear from the beginning - that Yoga is not trying to achieve something new, but to restore our original state. A permanent connection to our true Self, to the cosmic consciousness, which was always there, always will be, and is here right now!


Yoga Path is based on the original treatise of Yoga, known as Patanjali Yoga Sutras. It is the oldest surviving written use of Yoga. Its author - Patanjali (lived sometime around the 2nd century BC) - is sometimes known as the founder of Yoga. It is known, that Yoga was here long before Patanjali, but it was transmitted orally, and in particular by its own practice. Some ancient Vedic texts even suggest that "Yoga is as old as humanity itself" ...



Patanjali's eightfold Path of Yoga

    HaTha yoga:

  1. Yama - development of spiritual values in order to achieve harmonious coexistence with the others (non-violence, truth in word & thought, selflessness ...)
  2. Niyama - development of spiritual values in order to achieve harmony with oneself (cleanliness of body & mind, satisfaction, study, spiritual goals ...)
  3. Asana - discipline of the body to achieve physical and mental balance, vitalization and harmonization of energy centers (Chakras) and energy channels (Nadi)
  4. Pranayama - control of breath and the vital energy - Prana. Beneficial to health, steadies the body and is highly conducive to the concentration of the mind.


  5. Raja yoga:

  6. Pratyahara - withdrawal of senses from their external objects
  7. Dharana – development of concentration and guided attention
  8. Dhjana - steadfast meditation on the cosmic consciousness (paramátma)
  9. Samadhi - oneness with the cosmic consciousness (paramátma)

The Yoga Path is based on this schema and integrates it into the environment of modern man.
