Yoga’s ideas and techniques first appeared in India several millennia ago. Great Saints and Sages founded it. The great Yogis gave logical explanations of their experiences practicing yoga and developed an approachable, empirically supported method that was available to all. These days, yoga is not just practiced by hermits, saints, and sages; it has permeated our daily lives and, in the last several decades, inspired a global awakening and acceptance. Modern sociological needs and lifestyles have led to a reorientation of yoga science and techniques. Professionals in a variety of medical fields, including the contemporary medical sciences, are becoming aware of the contribution that these methods make to illness prevention, disease mitigation, and overall health promotion.
