By the sage Patanjali, is found in the Yoga Sutras. Patanjali compiled and organised the various teachings and practises of yoga into a comprehensive system. In this text, he outlined the eight limbs of yoga, known as Ashtanga Yoga, which provide guidance on how to lead a meaningful and purposeful life.
As yoga continued to evolve, various schools and styles emerged, each with their own unique approach and emphasis. Some notable schools include Hatha Yoga, Kundalini Yoga, and Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. These schools expanded on the classical teachings, incorporating physical postures (asanas), breathing techniques (pranayama), meditation, and ethical principles (yamas and niyamas) into their practises.
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, yoga was introduced to the West and gained popularity as a form of physical exercise and stress relief. Today, yoga is widely practised and has become a flourishing industry, with countless studios, teachers, and styles to choose from.
