The word Yoga is derived from the Sanskrit word meaning 'union with the source' i.e. the union of the body, spirit and mind. Yoga aims to improve illness by improving health on all levels simultaneously and by restoring inner harmony. It uses different kinds of physical and mental exercises to work on all these levels.

Asana relax and tone the muscles and massage the internal organs. Pranayame slows breathing and regulates the flow of prana (life energy). Relaxation and meditation calm the mind and emotions, and heal the spirit. The daily practice of a complete yoga session is believed to restore natural balance and harmony, helping to clear out toxins and heal damage tissue much more quickly.
