There are primarily two main approaches in Yoga

Many schools of Yoga mention the major text, “Yoga Sutras of Patanjali”. Patanjali describes Yoga as “Yoga chitta vritti nirodhah” meaning “restraint of the modifications of the mind stuff is Yoga(Swami Satchidananda)”. He outlines eight steps which begin with cultivation of moral code and behaviors and is similar to the Buddhist approach.

The other major school of thought is the Hatha Yoga System (Hatha Yoga Pradipika) founded by Swami Swatmarama. Hatha Yoga emphasizes purification of the body primarily through six purification procedures (Shadkarma) and asana(body postures) first with the stand that disciplining the body is easier than disciplining the mind(Swami Satyananda Saraswati).

Modern Yoga has induced the element of fitness and fun leaving out some elements and has blossomed in a variety of ways. It is highly appealing to today's health focused individual as a fun way to stay healthy. At the same time, Yoga has also developed in to a successful therapeutic system with great outcomes for different health conditions. Science has validated its many benefits. Veda Wellness strives to preserve and pass on the authenticity of traditional Yoga both for the serious aspirant as well as the health conscious individual.
