Yoga, which began in ancient India, is a practice that combines physical, mental, and spiritual disciplines. Rooted in Hinduism, it also shares connections with Buddhism and Jainism. Key forms of yoga include Hatha and Raja. Its history dates back to pre-Vedic times, with significant advancements occurring in the 6th and 5th centuries BCE. Yoga was brought to the West by figures like Swami Vivekananda in the late 19th century and gained traction as a form of physical exercise in the 1980s. In Indian tradition, however, yoga primarily focuses on meditation and spirituality. In 2016, UNESCO recognized it as an intangible cultural heritage, and it has also been researched for its potential health benefits.
