For nearly a thousand years, people in the East have been practicing what was known as hatha yoga, "a kind of forced Yoga or abstract meditation”, but in the West during the 20th century, it came to be known simply as yoga.
In the last 50 years, yoga has become incredibly popular as a way to exercise both the mind and body. Yoga means “unity” or “oneness,” and the word is derived from the Sanskrit word yuj, which means “to join.” In spiritual terms, this joining refers to the unity of the individual consciousnesses with the universal consciousness. In practical terms, it refers to balancing and harmonizing the mind, body, and spirit.
