Update: 2024-03-26

Description

Yoga, originating from the Hindu tradition, is a comprehensive practice that has been used for centuries to promote both physical and mental health. Its roots can be traced back to ancient Indian scriptures, notably the Vedas, Upanishads, and the Bhagavad Gita, where yoga is presented not only as a physical exercise but as a profound spiritual and philosophical system. The term "yoga" itself is derived from the Sanskrit word "yuj," meaning to unite or integrate, reflecting its ultimate goal of unifying the body, mind, and spirit.
