The word 'Yoga'
comes from the Sanskrit word 'YOJ', which means, 'To Unite'. The
final aim of Yoga is to unite the individual self with the universal
self. In the ancient text, four types of Yogas have been described,
these are:
Yoga as it is practiced today is considered to be a combination of Hath and Raj Yogas and is known as, 'Stanga Yoga'. The yogic practice of 'Pranayam' , refers to streams of energy or 'Nadis', in the body. Loosely, 'Nadis' correspond to veins, arteries and capillaries, or the respiratory and circulatory systems. The 'Ida' and 'Pingala' nadis carry the sun current and the moon current respectively, to different parts of the body. A third nadi, the 'Shushumbhna', is a very fine, brilliant thread running through the spinal cord along which the 'Kundalini', or 'Sleeping Serpent' ascends. Awakening the Kundalini is the highest step in Tantrik practices. According to Vaastu Shastra, natural energies such as solar, gravitational, magnetic etc flow from the North - East direction. This flow of energy corresponds to 'Ida' and is auspicious. On the other hand the South - West is inauspicious and corresponds to the the yogic flow, 'Pingala'.
