Brief History of Yoga

Yoga as an ascetic and contemplative practice appears in the sacred texts of ancient around the 500 BC. During the Middle Ages, yoga is already differentiated in a multitude of forms, independent, or connected to the most varied sects or philosophical and religious currents.

Through the oral tradition of master-to-disciple, with the support of a consistent number of classical texts, yoga has gone through more than a millennium ofn history.

Yoga practiced today in the West actually brings only certain aspects of traditional yogic practices, usually in an amply revised and adapted form, to make it compatible with the Western mentality. This does not mean that yoga has lost its strength or authenticity, on the contrary: the growing and global success that it meets today demonstrates its universality and timelessness.

Ancient Yoga

Yoga was born as an ascetic practice, linked to the sects of the renouncers of ancient.The ancient Vedic texts (the Vedas, 1500-500 BC) contain the first quotations on techniques capable of developing the control of consciousness through meditation.

In the following epochs, similar themes are found in the Upanishads (VI-III centuries BC), some of which are entirely dedicated to yoga. It teaches how to arrive at the contemplation of the soul through physical and mental practices that divert the mind from external perturbations, thus creating states of deep meditation.

The most famous poems of then tradition, the Mahabharata (4th century BC-3rd century) and especially its sixth book, Bhagavad-Gita, treat the theme of yoga in depth, as an inseparable element of spiritual life Of the upper classes of society.
