What does YOGIN mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
A person, especially within the Hindu tradition, who practices yoga as a spiritual and physical discipline.
Yogin is the Sanskrit-derived masculine form of the word, with yogini used for a female practitioner, and it appears mainly in older English writing about Hinduism and Indian philosophy. The more familiar modern spelling yogi comes from the same root and largely replaced yogin in everyday use once yoga became popular as physical exercise in the West. A yogin traditionally pursued meditation, self-discipline, and spiritual liberation rather than the fitness-focused practice many associate with yoga today.
