In a world shaken by stress and disconnection, yoga has become a beacon of serenity and inner balance for millions of people. Taking advantage of the fact that today is the International Day of Yoga, we go through its origin and evolution to the present day.

In principle, this discipline has its roots in India more than 5,000 years ago, through the Hindu sages and philosophers, who sought to understand human nature and achieve union with the universe. Through the exploration of breath, movement, and meditation , they found a path to self-actualization and transcendence.

In itself, it is not limited to being a physical practice, but it is a philosophy of life. It is a holistic practice that seeks harmony between the body, mind and spirit. Through physical postures (asanas), conscious breathing (pranayama) and meditation, yoga invites us to explore our true essence and connect with the present moment.

In our modern society, where anxiety and stress are common, it has gained popularity due to the multiple benefits it offers: it strengthens and makes the body more flexible, improves posture, and relieves accumulated tension . In addition, it helps to calm the mind, reduce stress and improve the quality of sleep.

It has also become a tool for cultivating self-acceptance and self-esteem. As we get deeper into the postures, we learn to listen and respect our bodies, without judging or comparing ourselves to others. This practice invites us to connect with our inner being, to explore our emotions and to develop a greater awareness of ourselves and the environment that surrounds us.

His teachings therefore inspire us to bring calm, gratitude and compassion to all areas of our lives. It reminds us of the importance of taking care of our body, nourishing our mind and living in harmony with nature and with other human beings. Therefore, on this special day, we invite you to discover how yoga can be a powerful tool to reconnect with you.
