A. Yoga is a physical art form that dates back 5,000 years. Translated, the word "yoga" means to yoke or bind, as in a combination of the mind and body. The study of postures is one of yoga's eight elements and is widely practiced today. In fact, yoga postures are considered the original isometrics.
