History Of Yoga

The roots of Yoga can be traced as long as 5000 years back. The earliest reference to Yoga was found when archeological excavations where made in the Indus valley.

Yoga did not become widely known until the 1960s, as part of the youth culture’s growing interest in anything Eastern. As more became known about the beneficial effects of Yoga, it gained acceptance and respect as a valuable method for helping in the management of stress and improving health and well-being.

The tradition of Yoga has always been passed on individually from teacher to student through oral teaching and practical demonstration.The particular manner in which the techniques are taught and practiced today depends on the approach passed down in the line of teachers supporting the individual practitioner.

By uniting the concepts of the mind, body and even the soul together into a single cosmic existence yoga has helped many people find the help and encouragement that they need to succeed.
