What is Yoga?

Question - Gurudev, you have mentioned a few days back that wonder is the basis of Yoga. Could you please tell us what is Yoga?

Gurudev Sri Sri - Yoga is uniting, uniting the small mind with the big mind. Bringing harmony between body, breath and mind. Mind and body are both there, but if the body and mind are not aligned then it is not Yoga. In Yoga you are bringing them in harmony, you are aligning them - breath, body and mind and you feel so good after that. You may just lift your hand unconsciously, but when you consciously move your hand, you see that there is a rhythm and there is dance to it. You see that there is a sense of well being. Similarly, when the small mind is united with the universal mind, that is called Yoga.
