Yoga is not just a workout or a stretch, though it can bring you physical strength and open up the stiff joints. Yoga, as defined in the classic Yoga Sutras of Sage Patanjali, is what regulates the modulations of the mind. And this is achieved through an eight-fold path and not just downward dogs and sun salutations with consistency and discipline.
