Yoga is directed at divine knowledge and liberation, through physical, mental and spiritual discipline. Its purpose is to rid of any clutter in your mind and relieve stress. Normally yoga is thought of as just an exercise and a way to get your mind off of other things, but it is much more than that to some cultures. It is a way to connect spiritually with mind and body. Yoga can do nothing more than benefit you, it is a great way to become stress free and be more active. To me it connects very strongly to any philosophical idea, because if you don’t have your mind in order and what is going on there is no way you can figure out and understand a specific philosophical principle.
