Although the term 'Yoga' is popularly known as a physical set of exercises and poses, the actual meaning of 'Yoga' is quite different. Yoga literally means union. To practice 'Yoga' means to practice union of consciousness... The exercises and poses known as Yoga are traditionally called asanas which are used as preparation for meditation. Asanas are a subsection of Hatha Yoga which is a subsection of the Vedic Wisdom called Yoga... Through meditation anyone may experience the underlying reality of life which is transcendental to all sensory experience. This transcendental, unbounded experience of pure consciousness may be known as union with the Self-the innermost field of existence at the most silent level of the mind and of nature.
