Whether practiced as a form of fitness, meditation, or spiritual discipline, yoga continues to guide millions toward a more balanced and meaningful life. It is deeply connected to Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism, where it was seen as a spiritual path to liberation. The earliest references to yoga are found in the Rigveda (sacred Indian texts) and were later developed in the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita. Figures like Swami Vivekananda and Tirumalai Krishnamacharya played key roles in spreading yoga globally.
While yoga is often practiced for its physical and mental benefits, many people also turn to it for spiritual growth. At its core, yoga is about connecting to the deeper aspects of ourselves and the world around us. It offers an opportunity to quiet the mind, cultivate compassion, and develop a sense of inner peace and self-awareness.
