When did yoga originate?

Yoga originated in India and has a history of more than 5,000 years. It is called "the treasure of the world". Yoga originated in the Himalayan foothills of northern India. When practicing body and mind in nature, ancient Indian yogis accidentally discovered that all kinds of animals and plants are born with methods of treatment, relaxation, sleep or staying awake, and can recover naturally without any treatment.

Therefore, ancient Indian yogis observed, imitated and experienced animal gestures, and created a series of physical and mental exercise systems, namely postures. These postures have been tempered for more than 5,000 years. Yoga has taught people healing methods and benefited people from generation to generation.

Yoga posture uses ancient and easy-to-master skills to improve people's physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual abilities. It is an exercise method to achieve the harmony and unity of body, mind and spirit, including posture method, breathing method and meditation method, so as to achieve the unity of body and mind.
