Yoga History
The word yoga comes from the Sanskrit language and means, to join or integrate, or union. Yoga is a way to surpass and liberation from the self and the ego by purifying the mind and body. Practicing yoga leads to a union with the mind and body. The origin of Yoga can be traced as long as 5000 years ago. Archeological excavations had found the earliest yoga evidence in the Indus valley - the most significant civilization in the early antique period. This civilized culture developed in northern India,around the Indus river and the Sarasvati river as well as on the border towards Pakistan. So, yoga as we know it today, is thus the result of a complex evolution that has been going on for at least 5000 years.
