Yoga

In my English class we are studying various topics of our choosing and gathering data to form into a full paper. I have chosen to discuss Yogis, or male yoga students. We just recently took time to find articles on anything realted to our topic, I found one on sciencedirect.com by Marian Garfinkel and Ralph Schumacher entitled "YOGA" very fitting. I learned some interesting things after reading this article, some of the information I gathered is as follows. One interesting thing I learned is that Patanjali was an Indian sage known as "The Father of Yoga" and that according to him, yoga is "that which restrains the thought process and makes the mind serene." and secondly another interesting fact is that the word 'hatha' can be broken down into two other words 'ha' or 'sun and 'tha', 'moon' and the way hatha yoga is described is "the union of the pairs of opposites." This is very fascinating information, the information I stated and all the other ones I found will certainly be used somewhere in my essay.
