The History of Yoga
Yoga is an ancient practice that originated in India over 5,000 years ago, rooted in spiritual traditions that sought to unite the mind, body, and spirit. The word "yoga" comes from the Sanskrit word yuj, meaning "to unite" or "to yoke." Originally, yoga was developed as a spiritual discipline, with early references found in the Vedas, ancient Hindu scriptures. Over time, it evolved through various traditions, including the philosophical teachings of the Upanishads, the structured eightfold path of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, and the physical postures of Hatha Yoga. Today, yoga has spread worldwide, embraced for its numerous physical, mental, and emotional benefits while still honoring its deep-rooted traditions.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1
Do I need to be flexible to do yoga?
No! Yoga helps improve flexibility over time, but you don’t need to be flexible to start. The key is to listen to your body and practice at your own pace.
2
What should I wear to a yoga class?
Wear comfortable, stretchy clothing that allows for movement. Breathable materials like cotton or moisture-wicking fabrics are ideal. Avoid anything too loose that might get in the way during poses.

Even practicing yoga once or twice a week can be beneficial. For greater flexibility and stress relief, aim for 3-5 sessions per week. Daily practice, even for just 10–15 minutes, can be transformative.
