The practice of yoga is believed to have started with the beginning of civilization. The science of yoga originated thousands of years ago. In Yoga Vidya, 'Shiva' is considered to be the first Yogi or Adiyogi and the first Guru or Adi Guru. Thousands of years ago, on the banks of Lake Kantisarovar in the Himalayas, Adiyogi imparted his knowledge to the great seven sages.

Many saints and yoga teachers after Patanjali have made significant contributions to the preservation and development of yoga through documented practices and literature. The great sage Patanjali has systematized and codified the contemporary practices of yoga, its meaning and related knowledge through his Yoga Sutras.
