What Is The Difference Between Meditation And Yoga?
Yoga, according to the sage Patanjali, is Chitta Vriti Nirodhah, or the unification of body and mind, and it envisions the wellness of human beings on all levels, including the physical, mental, and spiritual.
Aasana (posture), pranayama (breathing technique), pratyahar (concentration), dhyana (meditation), dharana (concentration), and samadhi (sacred silence) are the eight steps of yoga. Yoga is also referred to as a way of life, and when practiced regularly, it is said to provide numerous benefits.
Yoga incorporates the practice of meditation, which is concerned with mental relaxation and concentration. The focus of attention is on the thoughts and the breath in this position. Being mindful of one's breathing automatically regulates one's thought process, resulting in complete relaxation of the mind.

The Bottom Line
On Saturdays and Sundays, the Yoga and Meditation Center offers two weekly workshops. Each class is an hour long and is designed to delve deeper into the topics covered in class. Each Saturday, the workshop varies, but Sundays always include a group meditation class. Both classes are donation-based, so please be aware that space is limited.
Yoga can be used to bring balance to your life and cultivate a profound sense of inner peace. Each of their instructors has been trained to adapt yoga to your unique body. They believe that anyone, regardless of age, size, gender, or physical limitations, can (and should) practice yoga. Yoga is experiential, and each practitioner embarks on a unique journey.
