在古老的印度曾经流传着一则关于马车的寓言，普通人的生存可以用此寓言来表达。马车代表一个人的身体；拉车的马代表感情；车夫代表心智；乘客代表灵魂。寓言里说普通人的状态的这样的：车坏得无法收拾，马发狂了，车夫喝醉了，乘客睡着了。而瑜伽就是用来修理马车（身体），驾驭马儿（感情），使车夫清醒（心智），和最终唤醒乘客（灵魂）。
The Ancient Yogis had a profound understanding of man's essential nature and of what he needs to live in harmony with himself and his environment. They perceived the physical body as a vehicle, with the mind as driver, the soul as man's true identity, and action, emotion and intelligence as the three forces which pull the body-vehicle. In order for these to be integrated, these three forces must be in balance. Taking into account the interrelationship between body and mind, the Yogis formulated a unique method for maintaining this balance - a method that combines all the movements you need for physical health with the Breathing and Meditation techniques that ensure peace of mind.
