Classical Yoga Classes Instructor Patricia Federico Call for locations in Woodbridge at: 416-725-2605 Namaste The first people to correlate physical education to health, hygiene, ethics, meditation and even a higher purpose of life were the ancient Yogis of India. Atharveda referred to this concept of body awareness three thousand years ago. Historically speaking the most significant of all schools of yoga is classical yoga. Classical yoga is the science of man which is over 2500 years old. Of all the schools that existed classical yoga was the one to become acknowledged as the authoritative system (darshana) of the yoga tradition. It represents the climax of a long development of yogic technology. It is therefore scientific, time tested. Classical yoga represents the way of life, which endows perfect health-physical, mental, moral and spiritual. It is another word for the art of living. It shows us how to find our balance and enrich our lives. Classical yoga is based on the most ancient texts of yoga- Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.
