Yoga, Sanskrit for "yoking" or "union", is a group of
physical, mental, and spiritual practices or disciplines that originated
in ancient India. Yoga is one of the six orthodox philosophical schools
of Hinduism. There are a broad variety of yoga schools, practices, and
goals in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism and there are four paths or
types of yoga: Karma yoga, Kriya yoga,
Bhakti yoga, and Jnana yoga. Research studies
have shown that traditional yoga systems that include breathing
exercises and asanas or postures, chants, and meditation can reduce
stress and improve immunity and lung functions. Traditional forms and
modern methods of yoga are practiced worldwide.
