Yoga originated in ancient India and has a history of more than 5000 years. Yoga was originally a practice of Brahmanism in ancient India, aiming at liberating people. The original meaning of the word yoga is to associate cattle, horses and other livestock with specific farm tools. Later, with the development of the times, the word yoga has its unique extended meaning, which means to link two things together. Later, Brahmins combined yoga with religious thought once.

It is pointed out that the human soul is self and the highest realm of all things in the universe is self. The combination of human self and cosmic self can achieve human liberation, and the practice method of self-combination is yoga.
