Yoga has a rich and deep history dating back thousands of years. Thought to have first emerged in India around 3000 BC, yoga has spread and evolved throughout the world over time.
Origin and Vedas: Yoga has its roots in the Vedic culture of ancient India. The Vedas are considered one of the oldest written texts in the world and form the basis of yoga philosophy.
Classical Yoga and the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali: The classical period of yoga begins in the 2nd century AD with the writing of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. This text systematically presents the philosophy and practice of yoga and describes the eight limbs of yoga.
Hatha Yoga and Modern Yoga: With the development of Hatha Yoga in the Middle Ages, yoga began to focus more on physical poses and breathing techniques. In the 19th and 20th centuries, yoga was introduced to the Western world and modern yoga practices began to take shape.
Yoga is not just a physical activity, it is also a path of personal transformation and spiritual growth.
Today, it is practiced by millions of people around the world and has an important place in people's lives.
