What is a Yogi, Anyway?
A yogi is one who practices yoga. Yoga is more than physical movements and postures; it includes meditation and other practices whose purpose is to achieve a harmony of thought, feelings, and actions that leads toward calm self-awareness. By stilling the natural turbulence of the mind, one gradually feels one’s unity with all life and with the Giver of Life.
