Yoga originated over 5,000 years ago in India, first mentioned in the Vedas. The Upanishads and Bhagavad Gita expanded its philosophy, while Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras (c. 200 CE) systematized it into an 8-limbed path. Hatha Yoga (15th century) emphasized physical postures and breath control. In the 19th and 20th centuries, yogis like Swami Vivekananda and Krishnamacharya introduced yoga globally. Today, styles like Hatha, Vinyasa, and Ashtanga focus on physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Yoga has evolved into a worldwide wellness practice, blending ancient traditions with modern fitness, stress relief, and mindfulness.
