Yoga is a practice that helps people connect, unite, and harness their energy.
We look to connect with our true self, also known as the “divine essence,” “ultimate self,” or atman.
You might also refer to the soul as the essence of who we are.
If you don’t feel comfortable with the idea of yoga being about separation and disentanglement, then consider that the word yoga can also mean liberation or freedom.
The goal of any yoga practice is to attain moksha or liberation.
