Namaste means to bow. We often say Namaste after yoga class, because the mind and energy were more peaceful at that time. The yoga teacher first said that Namaste shows respect for students and teachers and requires students to pass on the truth, so Namaste means I bow to you.

Characteristics of yoga

Yoga is a Chinese word derived from Indian Sanskrit yug or yuj, which means consistent combination or harmony. Yoga originated in ancient India, which is one of the six philosophical schools in ancient India to explore the truth and methods of the unity of Brahma and Myself. What modern people call yoga is mainly a series of methods to cultivate one's morality and raise one's heart.

Around 300 BC, patanjali, the founder of Indian Yoga, created the Yoga Sutra, and on this basis, the practice of yoga was formally defined as a complete eight-branch system. Yoga is a system that helps people to give full play to their potential and improve their physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual abilities by improving their consciousness. It is an exercise method that achieves the harmony and unity of body, mind and spirit.
