Introduction to Yoga

Yoga is an alchemy of transformation. We can also say that alchemy is the magical process of transformation and creation characterized by the transmutation of ordinary metal into gold.  The practice of yoga is a pathway of transformation.  In other words, when we enter the path of yoga, we embark on the beautiful process of creating a new reality.
