CONT

Le mot yoga est issu de la racine sanscrite yug, qui exprime l'idée d'unir ou de [joindre]. Mieux se connaître pour mieux se relier aux autres, tel est le chemin à suivre pour atteindre l'objectif ultime du yoga : ne faire qu'un avec l'univers. Son principe repose sur les postures, la conscience du corps et la respiration.
