Philosophy or a means?
Yoga is a discipline that leads to spiritual self-realisation, helps to keep us healthy and makes a conscious change of the state of mind, body and spirit possible.
Yoga is a means of harmonising body, mind, emotions and energy. Yoga is not a philosophy, not something to be only thought about. Yoga is a practice that is lived. It deals with our whole being: our body, our existence, our origin, our sources. True yoga is free of any dogma and is not a religion.
Yoga is a practice thousands of years old and a science of the inner being, which serves humanity without any additional message.
The most important aspects of yoga
Universal moral commandments, self-purification through discipline, body postures, rhythmic controlled breathing, freeing the mind from the influence of the environment, concentration, meditation and union with the subject of meditation.
Postures
The path to follow consists in making our body and all its functions conscious: through attention and consistent practice we learn to notice and direct even what used to pass unnoticed.

Breathing
Modern people often do not breathe properly. Our suppressed spiritual life, the constant swinging between passion and fear, tightens our throat, so we do not breathe with full lungs.

Awareness
Unpleasant states such as fear, anger and despair burden the organism, while good feelings, happiness, joy and love give us strength to cope better with life.

“Man, you are your own only secret! Who can open your door but you? And no one can enter but you!”
“Trust your true essence and you will be able to rely on your strengths. Act rightly, and life will be just to you. Be moderate in every part of your life, and you will have a long and healthy life. Be calm like the morning stillness, look to the future with confidence, as you trust in tomorrow’s sunrise, look at the world with cheerful calm. The strength that holds the world holds you too, for you are a part of it.”
“Avoid two things, traveller: useless desires and excessive restraint of the body.”
“A person should turn their eyes towards themselves, in order to set out on the most wondrous path of discovering the world.”
“If matter is powerful, thought is all-powerful. The salvation of the world lies in a cultured humanity.”
“Pleasure is short, like a flash of lightning; why then do I follow only the path of pleasure?”
“Let the individual live without doing harm, free of care, like an elephant in a forest of elephants.”
“Peace and its attainment in all directions is the goal of the world.”
“Strength that asks for no justification and love that asks for no proof.”
“And he who cannot live in a community, or who needs nothing … is either a beast or a god.”
