"Yoga is often seen as postures, but the yoga discipline in Sanskrit traditions describe complete paths that balance body, mind, and spirit. The Sanskrit word "yoga", derived from the Sanskrit, means "union" and mārga means "path." Each discipline in yoga is a doorway to harmony and liberation, created for different temperaments: devotional, intellectual, active, or contemplative. The beauty of these traditional yoga disciplines is that every yoga practitioner can find a path that feels authentic and sustainable."
"A yoga discipline (yoga mārga) is a recognized approach to spiritual growth and self-realization. Each emphasizes a unique entry point: devotion, wisdom, service, meditation, physical practice, or energy work. These are often described in Sanskrit yoga terms and sometimes require learning Sanskrit to fully appreciate their depth. They are not rigid boxes. Think of them as guiding frameworks that can adapt over time."
Yoga extends beyond physical postures to named disciplines (yoga mārga) that offer complete paths balancing body, mind, and spirit. The Sanskrit term yoga means union and mārga means path. Each discipline suits a temperament—devotional, intellectual, active, or contemplative—and provides specific entry points such as devotion, wisdom, service, meditation, physical practice, or energy work. These disciplines use Sanskrit concepts, function as adaptable guiding frameworks rather than rigid boxes, and can be combined or transitioned through life stages. Aligning practice with temperament and life stage supports sustainability and transformative results; forcing mismatched paths leads to frustration.
