Chapter 1
Yoga Basics
Yoga is defined as discipline that a person tries to practice on mental, spiritual, and physical level. The yoga is practiced through series of postures. However, there is more to yoga. Its benefits are numerous and it has been present in the world since the ancient times.
Yoga is about unifying mind, and body. Practicing yoga isnt just a trend, or fashionable thing to do it is a way of improving your own life. This chapter will introduce yoga, its history, types and principles.
Meaning of yoga
Yoga has multiple meanings. However, the most widely used is Vedic Sanskrit and the meaning of yoga is defined as to join, to add, or to attach. Sanskrit contains numerous words that include yog in their root and their meanings are method, connection. Additionally, yoga can also mean combined.
Although the term and its derivation is still mainly unknown and its still a subject of numerous debates, one thing is certain yoga refers to unity of mind, body and soul.
History of yoga
Yoga has oral, not written tradition. This means that its principles were transmitted from teachers to students. Students would become teachers and teach their pupils about yoga. At some point, yogas sacred texts were written down, but it was done on the palm leaves which were fragile and were easy to destroy, lose, or damage.
However, even though there arent many written documents about yoga, and there is no ancient book that contains all yogas sacred texts, it can be roughly concluded when the practice started. Yogas origin is also the subject of many debates, some researches and historians claim it appeared 5000 years ago, while others think there is a possibility the yogas origin could be traced back to 10 000 years.
Therefore, for the better understanding of the discipline itself and its history, the yogas history development was divided in four periods, and they are:
Pre-classical yoga
Pre-classical yoga developed in Northern India by Indus-Sarasvati civilization about 5000 years ago. The word yoga was mentioned, for the first time, in the Rigveda [1] . Yoga was developed and preserved by Brahmans (mystic teachers and priests) and Rishis (poets who recited hymns). Brahmans and Rishis documented their beliefs and practices into the Upanishads [2] . Out of all Yogic scriptures, the most commonly known one is the Bhagavad-Gita. The scripture was composed around 500 B.C.
