Extended data

Origin of Yoga: Yoga originated in India with a history of more than 5,000 years, and 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.
