Yoga

Yoga is an ancient practice originating in India over 5,000 years ago. The word "yoga" comes from the Sanskrit root "yuj," meaning to yoke or unite, referring to the union of body, mind, and spirit. While modern yoga often focuses on physical postures (asanas), traditional yoga encompasses a complete system of living that includes ethical principles, breathing practices, meditation, and self-study.

For Bal Lahoti, yoga is not just exercise — it is a way of life that has kept him vibrant and healthy at 85. His approach focuses on gentle poses suitable for all ages, combined with pranayama breathing and meditation. He emphasizes that yoga should never cause pain and that consistency matters more than intensity. His daily practice includes spinal twists, forward bends, and balance poses that maintain flexibility and organ health.
