Yoga, originating in ancient India, is a practice that integrates physical, mental, and spiritual elements. As one of Hinduism's six orthodox schools, it also has roots in Buddhism and Jainism. Popular forms include Hatha and Raja yoga. Its origins date back to pre-Vedic times, with key developments around the 6th and 5th centuries BCE. Yoga was introduced to the West in the late 19th century by figures like Swami Vivekananda and gained popularity as physical exercise in the 1980s. However, in Indian traditions, yoga emphasizes meditation and spirituality. Recognized by UNESCO in 2016, it has also been studied for its health benefits.
