A Brief Overview On The History Of Yoga
It is often thought that the origin of yoga began between 2500 - 3000 BC. The first mention of yoga was made in a collections of scriptures which were called the vedas. Any how it is know that in the scriptures that were dated later which were also part of the vedas, the founding principles of yoga teachings were recognized.
One of the historic scriptures that is based on Hatha Yoga is the Pradipika. In the pradipika it goes into description about a variety of breathing exercises and asanas which as we all know form the foundation of yoga today.
The backbone of Raja Yoga is known to be Patanjali, believed to be the father of yoga, and his Yoga Sutras.He lived around the years of 500 - 800 BC. His written works known as the Yoga Sutras are ways of overcoming the afflictions of the body and the fluctuations of the mind.
Yoga appears to be one of the oldest continuous disciplines studying voluntary physical and mental control and the induction of altered states of consciousness. Of course, the physical and mental accomplishments are attributed to the practice of yoga as well. Yoga in the Western world is somewhat ambivalent.
There are a number of yoga instructors who will use authentic oral traditions as the basis of there lessons. These will have been passed down from generation to generation of yoga teachers.
Some may have been altered in someway in order to fit in with modern needs but they still are based and built on the ancient art that is yoga.
There are also some that developed a new and different style of yoga which by many traditionalist view with hesitation and suspicion.
The fact is that yoga has been around for thousands of years and was viewed then as it is now. It is way to get mind and body more in tune with each other.
However as form of exercise it cannot be faulted. Many people these days use as a way of trimming there body and as part of a daily healthy exercise routine to keep them fit and fresh
