Yoga is mainly known for its physical exercise and postures (asanas). However, asanas are only a single step in the eight-step path (Raja Yoga of Patanjali). Patanjali is quick to point out that asanas are to be used as a stepping-stone for the higher paths, since just working on the beauty and welfare of an impermanent object (the body) is a waste of time and effort. There are two main branches in yoga, Hatha Yoga and Raja Yoga. (To read more about these two branches see the menu on the left). Within these two categories their are various paths in Yoga, which all lead to the same goal - Unification with the Divine.
