Yoga Day Celebration

The history of Yoga is quite old and people from ancient period have been taking advantages for healing their mind and body from last many
years. The word Yoga has been derived from the Sanskrit word called "Yuj", which means uniting. Practicing yoga on regular basis helps in
bringing the uniting the Universal consciousness with the individual consciousness. This in turn establishes a perfect harmony between the
body and the mind and the nature.
The origin of Yoga is related to the pre-Vedic times related to the Indian traditions. It is found that it has developed during the ascetic
movements in India. We have yet not found a physical evidence to support the fact that the age of Yoga is comparable to that of the Indian
civilization. The earliest evidence that establishes its existence is in the archeological excavations that have found the stones depicting the
Yoga poses.
Talking on the history of Yoga ( http://www.yogadaycelebration.com/history-of-yoga.html ), the representative of the online website
said that, "The entire period d of evolution of Yoga can completely be divided into four different periods including Vedic period, Pre-classic
Period, Classical Period and Post Classical Period. The Vedic Period is marked by the existence of Vedas and the techniques related to
Yoga found in these Hindu scriptures are called as Vedic Yoga. During this time, the Yogis were believed to have the special power to see
the reality.
