Yoga is an intermediate or combination of philosophy and religion. Sometimes it is absorbed into philosophy and religion, and sometimes on the contrary, it also absorbs elements of philosophy and religion. According to the different philosophies and religions absorbed, it is divided into various schools. Among the schools of yoga in Indian history, the following schools are very important:
Raja yoga-paying attention to psychology;
Hata yoga-paying attention to physiology;
Jina Yoga-paying attention to philosophy;
Yoga-pay attention to ethics;
Bhakti Yoga-focusing on religion;
Laya Yoga-Focus on Parapsychology;
Manta yoga-focus on spells.
Among the above schools, Raja Yoga and Hada Yoga have the most outstanding technical characteristics. Raja yoga school is the oldest among many yoga schools. This martial arts school is complete in theory and organization. As a school, it began to form, probably shortly after the emergence of Buddhism. This school, which was established under such circumstances, was psychologically the same as Buddhism and Jainism at that time. The school of thought of Raja Yoga is embodied in a classic work "Yoga Stora" in the 5th century.
1 1 century later, some yoga practitioners began to pay attention to people's physiological kung fu, which began to form hatha yoga. Practitioners of hatha yoga don't just take sitting and breathing as the basic skills of psychological practice, but think that physical practice alone can also liberate themselves well.
In this way, Hada Yoga has created more than 80 postures in the name of sitting, in addition to various exercises such as "handprint", "purification" and "tightening", and the types of breathing methods have also increased. Accordingly, this unique theory of human physiology has also developed, and its oldest classic is Hada Yoga Prajipika, which appeared in16-17th century.
These two schools of yoga are not so much religions as sciences, because they don't have certain doctrines and creeds to follow, and they don't believe in an omnipotent God. However, the ultimate goal of this school is to obtain the absolute freedom of human existence. From this perspective, they are still religions.
From today's scientific point of view, how to evaluate and clarify raja yoga and Hata's yoga thoughts and methods is still an unsolved problem.
