The History of Yoga has a lot relation to the present times. The earliest Yoga started some 5000 years ago since human civilization has begun. The scholars have believed that Yoga was originated from Stone Age Shamanism.

This is because there were some cultural similarities between Mehrgarh c8i02klfa which was a Neolithic settlement along with the Modern Hinduism. The shamanistic culture of Mergarh was in fact influenced by Hindu ideals, symbols and rituals in the present. The ancient shamanism and early Yoga had a lot similarity for the reason both wanted going beyond the human condition.

Shamanism's primary goal was to heal the members who were in their community and while doing so act as the religious mediators.

Archaic Yoga also had identical objectives as they were community oriented they usually aimed to determine the enormous order through senses and inner vision which in turn can be applied to our daily existence.

As time went on, Yoga has elevated and has regarded the inmost experience. Yogis then have aimed at how to improve the individual enlightenment, restoration and salvation.

Yoga's evidences were first tracked inside archeological evidence which was found in stone seals exhumed on the Indus valley. Yoga postures were traced and seen from the figures which were illustrated in the stone seals. the artifacts were placed on History books circa 3000 B. C., which was linked to the great Indus-Sarasvati Civilization which was considered the largest civilization that exist in the ancient world. The Indus-Sarasvati, being a ocean going society, exported goods all over Africa as well as the Middle East. They build up sewage systems and put up geometrical brick roads and constructed multistory houses.

The Vedas are known as the oldest scripture on earth which were the ancient texts, was brought because of the Indus-Sarasvati civilization. It was a compilation of hymns that commends a high power which included the oldest recorded teachings about Yoga. They have considered this the divine revelation. The intelligence of the Vedas was generally known as the Pre-classical Yoga or the Vedic. This was described by the ritualistic ceremonies the Yoga practitioners have been required so that they can go beyond the limitations of the brain.

The history of yoga would not have been completed in the classical stage of yoga. After the time and turn of this millennium, yoga and its spread in different forms have come up with the need for standardization. This is important so that the persons will be aware with it and it can be applied by them. Due to this, through the second century, C. E., Patanjali has composed and collected seminal text that is the Yoga-Sutra which had defined the Traditional Yoga.

At the age of Postclassical Yoga within the enormous history of Yoga, it gave rise into a productive literature which has included the Tantra as well as the Hatha which is famously known nowadays. These were taught in schools for Yoga and practiced by many. Therefore, post classical Yoga is described to be an adaptation of our present state. It is a time when yoga has evolved greatly and introduced to people. It has then been applied in the United States in the 1800's.

Now in the recent decades, yoga has greatly and swiftly improved. Swami Sivananda was one of the prominent gurus ever to master yoga. He has served as a doctor and he has generously opened up schools in Europe and also America.

Now as we move on with the yoga practices that we have today, it is much helpful and easier to understand if we looked back to the history of yoga.
