Nowadays, Yoga continues to evolve throughout the centuries and is influenced by many cultures, until now it is created by various types of Yoga to be derived from Ashtanga, Kripalu, Bikram, to Vinyasa. Each type of yoga has different movements, routines and usability.
In Sanskrit, yoga is referred to along with "Yuj" which means unity. The unity in question is the unity derived from mind, body, spirit, emotion to remind us again that we are derived from Purusha (divine essence, perfection, or infinite love). In addition to maintaining physical freshness, yoga includes a variety of good values that not only work for the physical, but include the mental and include those around us.
In the Book of Patanjali (the book that peeling on yoga), yoga has 8 branches to reach the yuj or the unity itself:
Yama
Yama is a code of moral ethics of a yogi in which there is a ahimsa (not to do evil), Satya (always being Honest), Acetya (not stealing), Bramacharya (controlling everything that is woven together with sexuality), Aparigraha (No of the possessive. By applying diligent self that is universal, we are able to be a better person.
Niyama
Niyama is a thing that is interwoven together with self-routines, namely Saucha (hygiene), Santosha (feel Satisfied), tapas (self discipline), Svadhayaya (self-reliance), Isvhara Pranidhana (the benefit). These five things are very good for cultivating a good routine for yourself.
Asana
Asana is mostly intended as a posture that is shown in yoga. However, in the book of Patanjali itself in question with Asana is our strength to always focus on ourselves and its development. So while doing asana in yoga includes to focus on oneself and learn the body itself.
Pranayama
Pranayama in yoga itself means "the power that extends life". So in the yoga itself is available pranayama exercises where we practice a variety of breathing techniques that are able to sustain to focus, unite the body and the assumption and also restore the body atmosphere.
Prathyara
Prathyara itself is an inconsistency to our various senses. It does not mean that we live apart from the various things that are outside of themselves such as not eating and drinking. But more to the exercises to look at and focus on yourself than so be completely reactive to things outside the body.
Dharana
Dharana means concentration. After we study to liberate "attachment" to what is available outside the body, Dharana is practicing concentration and focusing to forget any problems that are available to oneself, erroneously our only assumption. Of course, Dharana is able to be reached along with postures and includes breathing.
Dhyana
Dhyana has the meaning of contemplation and includes meditation. Although it sounds like a dharana, they have a difference that is, Dhyana is while where consciousness is always available without mandatory focus on something. In this atmosphere, the assumption already calm and inside the tranquility is only created more than one or no assumptions are very similar.
Samadhi
In Patanjali, Samadhi is the final stage or the goal comes from US Beryoga, that is, unity together with the know that "peace that passeth all understanding". What is described in Patanjali as the ultimate goal of a yogi is, derived from the depths of the heart, all mankind crave peace. This includes the impact we know that the last stage of a yogi is not able to be bought or possessed. It is only able to be felt by someone who is constantly obedient to move this path.
