Yoga originated in India and has a history of more than 5,000 years. It is called "the treasure of the world". Yoga originated in the Himalayan foothills of northern India. Yoga practitioners in ancient India created a series of physical and mental exercise systems, namely postures, by observing, imitating and experiencing animal postures.
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. Yoga is a system that helps human beings to give full play to their potential by raising their consciousness.
Yoga posture uses ancient and easy-to-master skills to improve people's physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual abilities. It is an exercise method to achieve the harmony and unity of body, mind and spirit, including posture method, breathing method and meditation method, so as to achieve the unity of body and mind.
The record of yoga first appeared in the Vedas of India. About 300 BC, patanjali, the ancestor of yoga, elaborated the training course of health preservation and spiritual cultivation in Yoga Sutra, systematized and standardized it, and formed the foundation of contemporary yoga practice.
The philosophical principle put forward by patanjali is regarded as a milestone in the spiritual field of yoga.
