Yoga (English: Yoga, Hindi:? The word comes from Indian Sanskrit "yug" or "yuji", which means "consistency", "combination" or "harmony". Yoga originated in ancient India and is one of the six philosophical schools in ancient India. It explores the truth and method of "the unity of Brahma and Me". What modern people call yoga is mainly a series of methods to cultivate one's self-cultivation.
Around 300 BC, Patanjali (English: Patanjali, Hindi:), the founder of Indian Mahayana Yoga, wrote the Yoga Sutra, on the basis of which Indian yoga really took shape, and the practice of yoga was formally defined as a complete eight-branch system. Yoga is a system that helps human beings to give full play to their potential by raising their consciousness.

Matters needing attention
1. Yoga as a fitness method, remember to warm up for a few minutes before practice. In practice, you can feel every inch of your body change by listening to your deep and gentle breathing, and guide you from one posture to another. If you feel unwell, you should postpone yoga.
2. Yoga movements need to be carefully practiced with the passage of time and the accumulation of experience. When you have a basic understanding of the action in your mind, try it with your body. It is more challenging to practice mobile yoga or Bikram yoga. When you stretch or squeeze muscles, you won't feel pain, tension or fatigue, so you can boldly let your breath lead your body to do better.
3. Choose an experienced yoga teacher and keep in mind his methods and style. And let the teacher know your physical condition before class. Don't be embarrassed to ask if your body is suitable for yoga. If your teacher can't give you feedback on your physical condition, it is obviously a hint: he may not be suitable for you.
4. Don't imitate anyone else, no two people are in the same physical state, don't compare with other practitioners, and don't be depressed because you can't do a certain action. Everyone has his own advantages and disadvantages. As long as your body allows you to challenge your limits.
5. Insist on barefoot practice and wear soft and comfortable clothes made of non-reactive natural fiber fabric, which can make your skin breathe better.
6. Be familiar with all parts of your body, especially your legs and feet, coccyx, ischium, pubic bone, sacrum, rib clavicle, scapula, neck and your head.
7. Don't be afraid to use yoga props. They can help us stretch all parts of the body better and make our fitness process more effective.
Remember: Yoga is not a competitive sport. Pain is caused by the forced stretching of ligaments and tendons when soft tissue is strained, which is beyond the habit of the body.
