Etymology

The term 'yogi' originates from the Sanskrit word 'yuj', which means 'to unite' or 'to join'. This indicates the overarching goal of yoga, which is often regarded as a spiritual practice aimed at achieving union with the divine or the true self. The practice of yoga dates back thousands of years to ancient India, where it was both a physical and spiritual discipline. Historically, yogis were often ascetics, living in isolation to achieve profound meditative states. In various Eastern traditions, such as Hinduism and Buddhism, the path of the yogi encompasses ethical living, meditation, and physical postures, promoting a holistic approach to wellbeing. Over time, the understanding and practice of yoga have evolved, leading to various styles and interpretations in the modern world, but the core essence of a yogi remains intertwined with spirituality and self-realization.
