“What is the definition for Yoga? …. ‘Calming the mind is Yoga.’ Not just standing on the head. That’s all right, it’s a part of Yoga, the very physical part. Even if you don’t stand on your head, learn to stand on your feet. People think Yoga means always standing on the head or doing some poses. The aim of Yoga is to calm the mind. ‘Equanimity is Yoga.’
