Yoga is an ancient physical, mental and spiritual practice that originated in India. The word ‘yoga’ derives from Sanskrit and means to join or to unite, symbolizing the union of body and consciousness. Today it is practiced in various forms around the world and continues to grow in popularity. In response to that popularity, June 21 has been declared International Day of Yoga. It's the time to put a "Tree Pose" or "Full Lotus" into action.
