The origin of yoga was conceived with the progress of human history. The initial formation was not completed by one or a few people, but was solved by the following three parts: first, slave owners, sacrifices and wizards who longed for immortality; second, the civilian class who were dissatisfied with real life; third, slaves who resisted slave owners; and third, they became the earliest practitioners.
These earliest practitioners created 8,600 postures and 86,000 movements according to the original physical conditions and different environments by observing the activities of life such as fish and shrimp in the stagnant water of birds and animals, observing the instinct and self-healing ability endowed by nature to animals and plants, and combining various yoga movements to treat diseases and strengthen the body, which made great contributions to human health and longevity. With the development of practitioners over the years, it has become the theoretical basis of Indian culture, the method of treating and preventing diseases, and the method of maintaining health and longevity!
With the development of India and civilization, the earliest record of yoga appeared in the Indus civilization around 2500 BC. One is the modeling characteristics of Shiva, such as three sides, male roots, animal owners, yoga and so on. This is Shiva, the great god of Brahmanism! This is the characteristic of Shiva, who is the three main gods of Brahmanism. Brahma, the creator, Vishnu, Shiva and Brahma, the destroyer, believe that these three gods are actually a trinity. In the middle of Shiva's three faces is yoga meditation, on the right is terror and destruction, and on the left is tenderness, which means creation. Indus civilization is one of the early civilizations of mankind. Judging from the historical development of mankind, its increasing origin should be around 8000 years. Indus civilization was created by indigenous people. With the invasion of Aryans, the democratic life of Indus civilization entered a stage of differentiation, from primitive society to class society. These three classes are: monks and nobles in charge of religion, called brahmins, and secular nobles in charge of administrative affairs and military power, called Khrushchev. Civilians engaged in production activities are called "Vedas". Other foreigners who are not Aryans and the conquered Dasha people are collectively called the first gyro! Brahman's core and ultimate goal of liberation is the realm of Brahman. Brahman believes that the most ideal way of life to achieve the above four life goals is four lines: 1, seeking semester 2, staying at home 3, forest 4 and seclusion.
Vedic literature is a collection of classic books in Indian history and the basic classics of Brahmanism. The main theory of Upanishads is: Brahma and I are one. In the Upanishads of Galoga, it is said: "The activities of the mind are static, and Bodhi cannot move. This is called the most wonderful idea, that is, yoga is stable, and it is time to leave and let go. "
In other words, when entering the realm of yoga, not only the five sensory organs of eyes, ears, nose and body stop moving, but also the sixth sense stops moving: consciousness tends to be refined, and yoga dominates the activity-oriented state of body and mind, so that practitioners can reach the realm of inner peace! The last paragraph discusses the conditions that a place for practicing yoga should have, how to master the specific correct posture, how to control consciousness, how to relax, how to adjust distractions, and how practicing yoga can make the body healthy and happy. Even in the end, I will get rid of the cycle of life and death, just like me.
Buddhism was born in this way. The emergence of Buddhism is closely related to yoga. Before the establishment of Buddhism, Sakyamuni practiced yoga asceticism, and Sakyamuni's initial meditation was finally defined as an important practice method of Buddhism, which was a part of yoga meditation.

Wisdom Yoga: Only learning, invention, creation and meaning.
Believing in yoga: Sanskrit means honesty and piety.
Raja yoga: Sanskrit means king, and it advocates liberation through control and practice of psychological activities. This is the most advanced and confidential yoga in my family.
In terms of development, Yoga Sutra should be produced around the second century. With the revival of Brahmanism, various philosophies of the Brahmanism system began to form independent factions, represented by the Yoga Sutra written by Bo Li Dian. Yoga Sutra begins with a clear meaning, and defines yoga as: yoga is the inhibition of new changes. His main practice methods are: practice and abstinence.
The Yoga Sutra puts forward eight branches of practice: 1 Prohibition: it is a precept that practitioners abide by and is called the Great Vow.
Persuasion: situation, satisfaction, abstinence, study and respect for freedom.
3 sitting posture: refers to the posture of the body when practicing yoga.
Pranayama: the regulation and control of breathing
5 feeling: control the sensory organs of the body.
6 hold: pay attention to a place in your heart.
7 Meditation: Persistence of Thought

Buddhism has become a great Buddhism at the same time as classical yoga, among which there is a famous and influential Buddhist school: Yoga School. They were founded by two close brothers. His theory is that knowledge is infinite. Qin Shi created the land theory of yoga teachers. At that time, the Tang Priest learned from the Western Heaven and got the theory of the yogi.
With the combination of Mahayana Buddhism and Brahmanism, tantra came into being. There are three stages in the development of esotericism: early esotericism, middle esotericism and late esotericism. It can also be divided into four parts: thing continuation, action continuation, yoga continuation and supreme yoga continuation. Tantric Buddhism originated from Mahayana Buddhism. To achieve the concept of yoga: the realm is ignorant, and the esoteric religion advocates that there is one in the qi.
Finally, Gu Teng Yoga came into being, which is called "increasing strength". He attaches great importance to training and emphasizes that the purpose of practice can be achieved through various trainings of the human body. Finally, I am like Brahma.
With the outbreak of the "plessy War" in 1757, India began to become a British colony. /kloc-After the 0/9th century, with the emergence and expansion of Indian capitalism, Indian society has also entered a new period of great turmoil and great change. Modern yoga has three characteristics. The first is to serve the new purpose in the old form. Tilak advocated the theory of yoga in the Bhagavad-gita and called on the Indian people to actively participate in the struggle against the attention of the British colonies. Mahatma Gandhi spread it with yoga. According to the judgment of happiness, I think I practice wisdom yoga, and according to the judgment of belief yoga, I think the so-called effort of belief yoga is to turn evil and Pakistani feelings into strong feelings and ordinary love into sacred or lofty piety. Emphasis on proving mistakes and awakening. Yoga also believes that one should be like a master, not as hard as a master. A person allows himself or his selfish thoughts to dominate his behavior, emphasizing behavior and work. Raja yoga is a way to achieve liberation by restraining and regulating the body and mind.
The second feature is the introduction of modern scientific ideas into ancient Indian religious philosophy and the transformation and development of yoga theory. Senator aurobindo. He thinks that raja yoga only uses the heart as a tool, and only uses reason and heart as tools. Yoga also takes people's work consciousness as a tool, while believing in yoga takes feelings and the function of loving beauty as a tool. In fact, these rain clips also have internal unity, that is, every kind of leisure destination is to awaken the soul, and it is necessary to integrate these to open up a methodological field, that is, comprehensive yoga.
Traditional yoga regards the material style as a cage that binds the soul, and adopts all methods to keep people's behavior, sensory pursuit and psychological activities. He believes that only in the state of samadhi, that is, the state where conscious activities stop safely. Only one person can be combined with another. The integrity and wholeness of family great men, life and mind are not opposed to the inner soul or mind, nor do they advocate the exhaustion of the body, but emphasize the overall rise and fall of the three super-souls. Do not advocate activities that undermine consciousness.

He is just an inner yoga of spiritual transformation, emphasizing overcoming selfishness to promote the overall transformation of mind, life and body. Anyone can practice this kind of yoga! The biggest feature of holistic yoga is that it emphasizes that the whole life is yoga.
The third is that tradition and Canada continue to maintain their original forms and continue to exert a strong influence among the people.
