Ancient Yogis had a belief that in order for man to be in harmony with himself and his environment, he has to integrate the body, the mind, and the spirit. For these three to be integrated, emotion, action, and intelligence must be in balance. The Yogis originated a way to achieve and maintain this balance through exercise, breathing, and meditation - the three main Yoga essentials.
