Yoga's ultimate goal is self-realization of the soul, or the awakening of the true self beyond the ego and superficial identity. Yoga attempts to help people achieve a sense of oneness with all that is by transcending the boundaries of the body and mind.
Yoga means Union. Union of soul, mind and body or the union of the Atman (Soul) and our Universal Consciousness (Brahman) as a human.
According to Ancient Wisdom, Yoga can be a path to liberation. With focused practice, one can overcome the limits of the ego and achieve moksha (freedom). Moksha denotes the liberation from the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth (samsara). The route to moksha includes letting go of attachments, purifying the mind and emotions, and recognizing one's actual essence.
This freedom is about more than just eliminating pain and reaching enlightenment; it is also about living a life of inner peace, balance, and knowledge. Yoga demonstrates how individuals can harmonize with the inherent laws of the cosmos, harmonizing their mind, body, and spirit.
