About Me The History of Yoga - Where Did Yoga Come ? No It originated. It has gone through much evolution and had been passed down orally. The first reference to Yoga was found when archeological excavations were made from the Indus valley - an amazing powerful and powerful civilization from the classic period. This sophisticated culture developed around the Sarasvati river and the Indus river in northern India, on the boundary towards Pakistan and'd sewer systems, baths as early BC.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     While religions continue To wish to make yoga their production, it goes to all people. It has several facets which can be seen from the Hindu and Buddhist faith, 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 defined 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 transmission of the clinic, has left openings in its history. Earliest archeological evidence relating to the presence of yoga is found in Mohenjodaro seals excavated from the Indus valley, constituting a figure seated in a yoga pose. The stone seals place Yoga's presence around 3000 B.C.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     The Vedic Period                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     The following Reference yoga is located in the Rig Veda, the sacred text in the world. Even the Vedas, dating back to 1500 and 1200 BC, are a group of hymns, mantras and brahmanical rituals that praised a being. Yoga is referred to in the book as yoking or subject without any mention of a procedure or a practice to achieve this subject. Yoga is too mentioned by the Atharva Veda with a reference to controlling the breath.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               Pre-Classical Period                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     The Introduction of the Upanishads, Between 800 to 500 BC, marks the interval called Pre-Classical Yoga. yoga-world.org suggests that the only way a student could learn the truths was sitting near and means to sit near.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     The Maitrayaniya Upanishad outlined a path to liberation. This six-fold yoga path included controlling the breath (pranayama), withdrawing the senses (pratyahara), meditation (dhyana), concentration (dharana), contemplation (tarka), and absorption (samadhi). Patanjali's Yoga Sutra was afterwards to mirror these avenues with a few additions and elucidation.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     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 led to enlightenment or liberation. The Bhagavad-Gita, composed around 500 BC later included the bhakti yoga (the path of devotion) for this route.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     It had been in the time of the Upanishads that the idea of Ritual sacrifice became the idea of sacrifice of the ego through wisdom, action and self-knowledge and was internalized. This remains an significant part yoga's philosophy today. 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 next period.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Classical Period                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Written some Time in the century, Patanjali's Yoga Sutras created a landmark defining what's currently called the Classical Period. This pair of 195 sutras (aphorisms) is considered to be the first systematic presentation of yoga, also Patanjali is revered as the father of yoga.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Patanjali defined yoga's route (ashtanga yoga), which explained a practical treatise on living and laid out a route for attaining harmony of the mind, soul and body. Strict adherence to that would lead you. But yoga sees the necessity to learn the eight limbs in succession the sutras function as a principle for living in the world.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Post-Classical Period                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           It Was in this period that the belief of the human body as a temple had been revived and yogis designed a clinic also to prolong life and to rejuvenate the human body. It was no longer necessary to escape reality; rather the focus was living in the moment and on the path that is right. The quest of the halves and the spiritual and the necessity to harmonize body, the mind and spirit led to the production of Tantra yoga, to Hatha yoga in the tenth or ninth century, and to cleanse the entire body and mind.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Modern Period                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Yoga in its present avatar owes lots of To learned gurus who researched and generated schools of yoga, or traveled west to disperse the benefits of yoga. Back in 1893 Swami Vivekanada addressed the Parliament of World Religions at Chicago and spoke about Raja yoga. Swami Sivanada wrote a few books on yoga and philosophy and introduced the five principles of yoga. J.Krishnamurti, the Indian philosopher, affected thousands with his teachings and writings on Jnana yoga.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Day yoga's defining epicenter practiced in the west, started in 1931 with Krishnamacharya.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     T The very first Hatha yoga college started . Three of Krishnamacharya's most famous students were-Pattabhi Jois, who developed the college of Ashtanga vinyasa yoga, Indra Devi who introduced yoga to Hollywood, and B.K.S. Iyengar, who created Iyengar yoga known for its attention to body alignment and for its use of props.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Since Then, many more yoga professionals have become pioneers, popularizing yoga in keeping with the changing times and locating new styles.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Yoga in the Usa has been A yogi knows, although concentrated on the practice's Asana side There is far more to the encounter. I advise students Styles and you will find one which provides you the most enrichment.
