The word "yoga" (English: Hindi) 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 this basis, Indian yoga really took shape, and the practice of yoga was officially defined as a complete system of eight branches.
