rit, Pāli: योग yóga) refers to traditional physical and mental disciplines that originated in India. The word is associated with meditative practices in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. Within Hinduism, it also refers to one of the six orthodox (āstika) schools of Hindu philosophy, and to the goal towards which that school directs its practices. In Jainism, yoga is the sum total of all activities — mental, verbal and physical.
Major branches of yoga in Hindu philosophy include Rāja Yoga, Karma Yoga, Jnana Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, and Hatha Yoga. According to the authoritative Indian philosopher Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, yoga, based on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, comprises one of the six main Hindu schools of philosophy (darshanas), together with Kapilas Samkhya, Gautamas Nyaya, Kanadas Vaisheshika, Jaiminis Purva Mimamsa, and Badarayanas Uttara Mimamsa or Vedanta. Many other Hindu texts discuss aspects of yoga, including the Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita, the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, the Shiva Samhita and various Tantras.
The Sanskrit word yoga has many meanings, and is derived from the Sanskrit root "yuj", meaning "to control", "to yoke" or "to unite". Translations include "joining", "uniting", "union", "conjunction", and "means". It is also possible that the word yoga derives from "yujir samadhau," which means "contemplation" or "absorption." This translation fits better with the dualist Raja Yoga because it is through contemplation that discrimination between prakrti (nature) and purusha (pure consciousness) occurs.
Someone who practices yoga or follows the yoga philosophy to a high level of attainment is called a yogi or yogini.

Of several yoga-related apps: App is the best.
Ill
Ill look at this app a lot of yoga
How can I STOP the sound
I can select and turn on the sound. I cant thereafter STOP the sound or TURN IT OFF. I tap the play button and it plays but no stop playing button comes up to stop it. I can exit the app and it stops but open it back up and the music plays again without being asked. I can live with pink if I have to but no way to turn the sound off I cant live with.
Do not buy!! Beware!!
I think the first 9 reviews are from the developer. There is no content here. No routines. Just random pictures and ranting text. Wish I could get my $ back. What a waste!!
Needs improvement
If you are a beginner, this app really isnt for you. There are 30 poses included but lacks: instruction for how to achieve the proper pose, recommended times to hold the pose, or even advice on effective breathing while holding that pose. Its a simple photograph with a very long, poetic mini blog about the pose but no truly useful information. The music is okay and when you play a sound, a stop sound button appears so you can turn it off but there isnt a timer available.
