About Me The Background of Yoga - Where Can Yoga Come ? No One knows exactly how old yoga is. It originated. It had been passed down and has gone evolution that was much. The earliest reference to Yoga was discovered when archeological excavations were made in the Indus valley - an amazing powerful and influential civilization from the first antique period. This civilization developed around the Sarasvati river that was long gone and the Indus river in northern India and had sewer systems as ancient as 2,600 BC.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     While many religions continue To want to make yoga their very own creation, it belongs to all of us. It has several aspects which is found from the Hindu and Buddhist religion, but the basic principals are universal and according to"the eight limbs of yoga", which are available in all religions.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           The History of Yoga is described as four phases:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Vedic Pre-Classical Period, Period, Classical Period, Post Classical Period and the Modern Period                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           History of Yoga                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Yoga Is said to be as old as culture itself but the practice's transmission, has left gaps in its foundation. Earliest archeological evidence concerning yoga's existence is found in Mohenjodaro seals excavated from the Indus valley, constituting a figure seated in a yoga pose that was conventional. The stone seals place Yoga's presence around 3000 B.C.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     The Vedic Period                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     The following Reference to yoga is found in the Rig Veda. https://yoga-world.org , dating back to 1500 and 1200 BC, are a collection of brahmanical rituals and hymns, mantras which praised a larger being. Meditation is known to in the book as yoking or subject with no mention of a clinic or a procedure to achieve this subject. The Atharva Veda too mentions yoga to restraining the breath, with a reference.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Pre-Classical Period                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     The creation of the Upanishads, Between 800 to 500 BC, marks the interval called Pre-Classical Yoga. The term Upanishad implies that the only way a student could learn the truths was by sitting close to a guru and means to sit near.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     The Maitrayaniya Upanishad summarized a path to liberation. This six-fold yoga course included controlling the breath (pranayama), withdrawing the senses (pratyahara), meditation (dhyana), concentration (dharana), contemplation (tarka), and absorption (samadhi). Patanjali's Yoga Sutra was to mirror these avenues with elucidation and a few additions.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Two yoga disciplines Gained prominence now: karma yoga (course of action or ritual) and jnana yoga (path of study or knowledge of the scriptures). Both avenues resulted in liberation or enlightenment. The Bhagavad-Gita, written around 500 BC later added the bhakti yoga (the path of loyalty ) to this path.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     It had been in the time of the Upanishads the idea of Ritual sacrifice became the idea of sacrifice of the self through wisdom, action and self-knowledge and was internalized. This remains an important part of the philosophy of yoga today. Much like the Vedas, the Upanishads contained nothing of what we'd term as yoga asana practice. The most important and probably first demonstration of yoga arrived in the phase.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Classical Period                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Written some Time Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, in the century created a landmark specifying what is now called the Classical Period. This set of 195 sutras (aphorisms) is considered to be the first systematic presentation of yoga, also Patanjali is revered as the father of yoga.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Patanjali described yoga's eight-limbed route (ashtanga yoga), which described a practical treatise on living and laid a route for attaining stability of the mind, soul and body. Strict adherence to that would lead you. The sutras still function as a guideline for living in the world, but the need to master the eight limbs in series is longer seen by contemporary yoga.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Post-Classical Period                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           It Was in this period the belief of the human body as a temple had been rekindled and yogis designed a clinic to rejuvenate the human body and to prolong life. It was no more required to escape from reality; instead the focus was alive in the moment and on the right path. The quest of the spiritual and the physical halves and the necessity to harmonize the mind, body and soul caused the production of Tantra yoga, to cleanse the body and brain, and also to Hatha yoga in the ninth or tenth century.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Modern Stage                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Yoga in its present avatar owes a lot To learned gurus who researched and created schools of yoga, or traveled west to spread the benefits of yoga. In 1893 Swami Vivekanada spoke about Raja yoga and addressed the Parliament of World Religions in Chicago. Swami Sivanada introduced the five fundamentals of yoga and wrote a few books on philosophy and yoga. J.Krishnamurti, the Indian philosopher, influenced tens of thousands with his writings and teachings on Jnana yoga.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Modern day yoga's defining epicenter practiced in the west, started in 1931 Mysore India, with Krishnamacharya.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     T The first Hatha yoga school was started by krishnamacharya . Three of Krishnamacharya's most famous students were-Pattabhi Jois, who developed the school of Ashtanga vinyasa yoga, Indra Devi who introduced yoga to Hollywood, also B.K.S. Iyengar, who generated Iyengar yoga known for its focus on body alignment and because of its use of props.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Since Then, many yoga gurus are becoming pioneers, popularizing yoga and locating new styles in keeping with the changing times. Today there are limitless styles of yoga, all based on components in different paths of yoga (see: The Paths of Yoga).                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Yoga in the Usa has been More concentrated on the Asana side of this practice, but a yogi knows There is more to the experience. I always advise students You and styles will find one that provides you the maximum enrichment.
