The purpose of Yoga is to create balance in the body through developing both strength and flexibility. This is done through the performance of poses or postures, each of which has specific mental and physical benefits.

Meditation has a large role in Yoga, working remarkably to achieve harmony and help the mind work in sync with the body.
