Introduction
Yoga is the richest and noblest legacy the ancient
Indians have gifted to the world. It is a timeless
pragmatic science; it is an experimental science; it
is an age old spiritual science; it is a culture-art-
science; it is the grandest of all sciences; it is the
science of the integral man; it is the science of
sciences. It is the mother of all sciences.
Yoga is a method of education in the society.
It is an art of successful living. It is a way of
healthy living at all levels. It is a tool for positive
change. It is the sovereign remedy for all worldly
miseries. It is the science of creativity and
personality development. It is a voyage of
discovering truth or knowing the reality. It is a
utilitarian commodity. Yoga is a total experience of
human life. Thus, yoga is as old as civilization.
Yoga is as old as mankind. Yoga is creation. Yoga
is intimate and ultimate. It is a living tradition and a
proven system of realizing divinity.

History of Yoga
The exact history and origins of yoga is not known
yet but it is known that yoga originated from the
East (specifically India). The earliest signs of yoga
appear in ancient Shamanism. Evidence of yoga
postures were found on artefacts that date back to
3000 B.C. Evidence of yoga is found in the oldest-
existing text, Rig-Veda. Rig-Veda is a composition
of hymns. Topics of the Rig-Veda include prayer,
divine harmony, and greater being.
We can divide Yoga basically in four categories:
1. Bhakti Yoga
2. Karma Yoga
3. Jyana(Gyan) Yoga
4. Raja Yoga
And the history of Yoga can conveniently be
divided into the following four broad categories:
Vedic Yoga – The yogic teachings found in the
above-mentioned Rig-Veda and the other three
ancient Vedas are known as Vedic Yoga.
Pre classical Yoga – Nothing but the sacrifices
and meditation. Shrimad Bhagwad Geeta
teaches all kinds of meditation techniques and
Jyana Yoga was also introduced in this era.
Classical Yoga – This is what most of us follow
and Maharishi Patanjali wrote the scripture i.e.
Yoga sutras of Patanjali. Eight types of yoga has
