In theistic Hinduism, yoga may be seen as a set of practices intended to bring people closer to God - to help them achieve union with God. In Buddhism, which does not postulate a creator-type god, yoga may help people deepen their wisdom, compassion, and insight. In Western nations, where there is a strong emphasis on individualism, yoga practice may be an extension of the search for meaning in self, and integration of the different aspects of being. The terms Self-Realization and god-Realization are used interchangeably in Hindu yoga, with the underlying belief that the true nature of self, revealed through the practice of yoga, is of the same nature as God.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.yoga-store.net/yoga-2.avi" target="_blank" >Yoga Video (.avi)</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;|&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="http://www.yoga-store.net/yoga-2.mov" target="_blank" >Yoga Video (.mov)</a> http://www.yoga-store.net/videos.htm#200 200 Tue, 29 Aug 2006 09:00:00 -0400 Modern yoga practice often includes traditional elements inherent in eastern religion, such as moral and ethical principles, postures designed to keep the body fit, spiritual philosophy, instruction by a guru, chanting of mantras,&nbsp;&nbsp;pranayama, and stilling the mind through meditation. <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.yoga-store.net/yoga-1.avi" target="_blank" >Yoga Video (.avi)</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;|&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="http://www.yoga-store.net/yoga-1.mov" target="_blank" >Yoga Video (.mov)</a> http://www.yoga-store.net/videos.htm#100 100 Sat, 19 Aug 2006 09:00:00 -0400
