There are two views on the origin of Indian yoga. One view is that yoga comes from Indian philosophy, which has eight branches, meaning almost eight stages. Yoga is only one stage, which is located in three branches. His original intention is to learn to be a man first, and then practice asana. They pay attention to the unity of body and mind, and yoga also pays attention to the unity of inside and outside, and finally achieve the effect of harmony between man and nature. Although this is a bit strange, for India, their theology is like this.

There is also a saying that yoga comes from sexual worship and genital worship. They think it all comes from the posture when they are in love, which is not so reliable and even a bit vulgar. From a historical point of view, this statement is untenable, but it is right for people's vulgar ideas, so it has become the most widely circulated statement. According to the official statement, Indian yoga is a kind of fitness technique that originated in ancient India. It achieves the harmony and unity of body and mind through physical and mental practice, which is probably the above statement 1, which originated from philosophy. In order to practice the unity of body and mind in the future, man and the universe are one.

In recent years, yoga has been spread by people, and people have labeled him with various labels, as if practicing yoga can make him live forever, but it is not. This is just a sports system under the guidance of a philosophical system to help people develop their potential. In short, it's just a way to exercise. Only through proper training can we achieve the harmonious unity of body, mind and spirit. It is impossible to say that ordinary people can achieve a certain purpose you want by flowing casually on the yoga mat.

Yoga is the Yoga Sutra written by patanjali, the great Indian sage and ancestor of yoga in 300 BC. Only on this basis can we truly shape and unify. Before writing this book independently, yoga was passed down by the way that the master dictated it to his disciples. In this spreading process, yoga is quite mysterious, and it is usually inseparable from Indian myths and stories, which is also the reason why yoga is popular in India, a big religious country.
