What is Yoga?

Derived from the Sanskrit root "Yuj", to join, to unite, to attach. The English word 'Yoke' is cognate with the Sanskrit word Yoga. We can think of yoga as the joining of the atma with the paramatma, the soul with God. There are numerous means of joining with God: through action, karma-yoga; through knowledge, jnana-yoga through devotion, bhakti-yoga through meditation, dhyana-yoga etc. Yoga has many other meaning. For example, in astronomy and astrology it refers to a conjunction (union) of planets. yogi-literally one possessed of yoga. A yogi is a practitioner of yoga.

A yogi is one who consciously unifies

body, mind, emotions, and spirit

The yogi strives to open the gift of life and discover his fullest possibilities. A yogi endeavours to discover the higher consciousness and how the body, mind, and emotional nature can be truly fulfilled through unifying their purposes - rather than living in constant interior civil war

Yoga is described in its eight forms:

Bhakti Yoga
Karma Yoga
Janana Yoga
Raja Yoga
Mantra Yoga
Laya Yoga
Tantra Yoga
Hatha Yoga

What is Meditation?

Meditation usually refers to a state of extreme relaxation and concentration, in which the body is generally at rest and the mind quieted of surface thoughts. Several major religions include ritual meditation; however, meditation itself need not be a religious or spiritual activity. Most of the more popular systems of meditation are of Eastern origin.

Meditation is an easy and simple way to balance a person's physical, emotional, and mental states. It is easily learned and has been used as an aid in treating stress, anxiety, pain management, and as part of an overall treatment for other conditions including hypertension and heart disease. Research shows that meditation decreases the heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen consumption, and even decreases blood pressure.

Meditation as a form of alternative medicine brings about mental calmness and physical relaxation by suspending the stream of thoughts that normally occupy the mind. Generally performed once or twice a day for approximately 20 minutes at a time, meditation is used to reduce stress, alter hormone levels, and elevate one's mood.
