Yoga, a practice with a history dating back five thousand years to the ancient Indus valley civilization, has recently been linked to an innovative weight loss therapy. The ancient transcription on fragile palm leaves has shed light on the origins of this ancient discipline, which was first mentioned in the Indian collection of Vedic Sanskrit hymns, the Rigveda.
Over a thousand years ago, researchers have traced the roots of yoga, revealing a rich history that spans periods of innovation, practice, and development. The practice was refined and developed by the Rishis and Brahmans, who documented their training in the Upanishads. Through their dedication and commitment, yoga has evolved over the years into the transformative practice that is widely practiced today.
