Meditation and yoga are related practices but have distinct differences. Yoga typically involves physical postures (asanas), breath control (pranayama), and meditation. It's a holistic system aimed at physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Meditation, on the other hand, is a mental practice focused on mindfulness, concentration, or contemplation. It can be done independently or as part of yoga practice. While yoga often includes meditation, meditation itself doesn't necessarily involve physical movement like yoga does. read less

Meditation is a practice that involves focusing your mind and achieving a state of calm and relaxation. It can be done in various ways, such as focusing on your breath or repeating a mantra. On the other hand, yoga is a broader practice that combines physical postures, breathing exercises, and meditation. So, meditation is a part of yoga, but yoga includes additional elements beyond just meditation.
