Yoga is very much misunderstood

nowadays. Yoga is mostly seen

only as body movements

and the body forming in different ways.

But yoga is much more. All yoga

literature which was written a long

time ago says, 'The aim of a yogi

is to keep the body healthy as long

as possible.' We are blessed to have

a human body. The life of every

creature is holy because God's

light, His energy, His presence

and love is within us and in every

creature. This light is not visible

with our eyes. It is the very subtle

layer on our consciousness and

on the five koshas - the five coverings

of the Atman or inner Self. Practicing

Yoga in Daily Life harmonizes all

five koshas or layers of the body. If

we love our body, if we love our life,

if we love to live a long time, and if we love to

be healthy, then we should dedicate

a certain time daily to practicing yoga.
