Meditation and Yoga have the same ultimate aim - to reach a state of perfect mental and physical well being in order to concentrate on the realisation of the self. Although the asanas or yogic exercises, which are termed postures or assumed positions of the body, play a major role, yoga is actually a way of life, a set of rules to be adopted in order to lead a disciplined, healthy life. Meditation is also an act of discipline, a state of concentration so intense that the senses do not intrude on the mind - in fact, meditation is known as the pinnacle of yoga. Awareness is so suspended that even the thought that one is meditating should not intrude. Yoga also recommends devotion so deep that it aids you in drawing close to your true being.
As with anything else, yoga and meditation, which can be termed, acquired skills, can be learnt correctly only through a teacher. Travel Inn can aid you in finding a teacher/institutes who can determine your requirements and match them with the time you have at your disposal so that you gain the maximum possible benefit.
