For once I read an article where yog was granted its due pronunciation. Misbelief about yog is not restricted to its pronunciation, but engulfs its basic philosophy. Yog is taken equal to yogasana and that is equaled to physical postures for workouts or some form of aerobic exercise.
Yog word originates from Sankrut word 'yuj' which means 'to unite'. It is an experience, a methodology which helps a person to achieve oneness with with the universe. It propagates importance of being in unison. It may be seen as science which deals with harmony of body, breath, mind, soul, and ultimately, the universe.
Its bodily part or aasanaas (yogaasanaas) are important. But it should be understood that these aasanaas are not gymnastic, acrobatic or flexibility. The bodily postures need to be harmonised with breathing, concentration, meditation to evolve and harmonise and evolve our deeper self.

The 'Yogaa' originates from South India, since in most South Indian languages, pronounciation of ending 'a' becomes 'aa'. Most of the wellknown scriptures (on Yog, Bhagavad Gita, etc.) written/translated into English since independance have originated from the south, hence the common usage of 'Yogaa' It is amusing to hear my Tamil/Telugu friends say 'Adityaa' instead of 'Aditya'. Another example: 'Dnyan' becomes 'Dnyana'
