Yoga Bharati welcomes you to discover the treasures of Yoga. Yoga Bharati is working for the promotion of Yoga and related activities in the United States of America.
The basic guideline of Yoga Bharati is to conduct yoga camps, create yoga awareness, spread word of ancient Indian philosophy relevant to the entire humanity and to build a team of motivated volunteers. We will invite learned Yoga Gurus both from India and locally here in the USA to conduct the camps for us. Apart from the camps, we will bring various yoga related activities such as workshops, lectures, demonstrations to benefit yoga enthusiasts at various levels.
What is Yoga?
Developed in India, Yoga is a psycho-somatic discipline with roots going back over 5,000 years. Today, most Yoga practices in the West focuses on the physical postures called Asanas, breathing exercises called Pranayama, and Meditation. However, there's more to it than that, and the deeper you go the richer and more diverse the tradition becomes. The word Yoga means union. Traditionally, the goal of Yoga is union with the Absolute, known as Brahman, or with Atman, the true self. These days the focus is often on the more down-to-earth benefits of Yoga, including improved physical fitness, mental clarity, greater self-understanding, stress control and general well-being. Spirituality, however, is a strong underlying theme to most practices. The beauty of Yoga is in its versatility, allowing practitioners to focus on the physical, psychological or spiritual, or a combination of all three.
