Spell Bee Word: Yoga


What does yoga mean?

Word: Yoga

Part of Speech: Noun

Meaning: Yoga means a practice from India of stretching, breathing and holding body positions to keep the body and mind healthy.

Word origin: Comes from the Sanskrit word yoga, meaning joining or union.

How do you spell yoga?

Syllables: yo - ga

Tricky part: The o says its own name, as in go, so it needs no w or a beside it: yowga and yoaga are wrong.

Watch out for: yoaga, yogo, yowga

Memory tip: Think of the o in go and no: one o on its own is enough to make that sound in yoga.
