Key Ideas of the Lesson

🌱 The word Yoga comes from the Sanskrit root "yuj", which means "to join" or "to unite". It stands for the unity of mind and body, thought and action, and harmony between humans and nature.

📜 Maharishi Patanjali is called the Father of Yoga. He put yoga together in his Yoga Sutras.

🎯 The aim of yoga is to improve the quality of our life, through simple and healthy food, yogasanas and a simple way of living.

💪 Asanas (postures) build muscle strength, flexibility and balance, and reduce body pain such as lower back pain.

🧠 Breathing techniques (pranayama) and meditation calm the mind, lessen stress and improve sleep.

🌍 21st June is the International Day of Yoga, declared by the United Nations in 2014. The WHO mYoga app (2021) gives free yoga videos and audio to people around the world.
