Basic yoga exercises
What is Yoga and where does it come from? Yoga is an Indian doctrine that originally stems from Hinduism. The core message of Yoga is: "Through practice and habit, one can perceive the world." Yoga is practiced either individually or in a group and consists of various body, breathing, and meditation techniques.
The earliest records of Yoga date back to the 2nd and 1st centuries BCE and are documented in the so-called Vedas, the sacred scriptures of Hinduism. Yoga is an ancient Indian philosophy that aims at the unity of body, mind, and soul.
The practice of Yoga encompasses various exercises, breathing techniques, and meditations aimed at strengthening the body and calming the mind.
