#Origine of word yoga
The origin of the word 'yoga' is from the Sanskrit word 'Yuj' which means to join'. According to Patanjali, who is supposed to be the founder of yoga, the meaning of the word 'Yuj' is to stabilise the mind for the union of Atma and Parmatma. In simple words yoga is a way to join God.

Parmatma."
