Yoga
is a way of life, an art of righteous living or an integrated system for
the benefit of the body, mind and inner spirit. This
art originated, was perfected and practiced in India thousands of years
ago.
The references to yoga are available
in 'Upanishads' and 'Puranas' composed by Indian Aryans in the later Vedic
and post- Vedic period.
The main credit for systematizing
yoga goes to Patanjali who wrote 'Yoga Sutra', two thousand Years ago.
He described the principles
of the full eight fold yogic discipline. He
composed the treatise in brief code words known as 'Sutras'...
