With its earliest inscriptions originating from the Indus Valley over 5000 years ago, yoga definitely has deep and rich cultural roots from ancient Indian civilisation which later spread to the Far East. Acknowledging the many benefits of this ancient practice, yoga evolved into many different lineages and was adapted as a spiritual discipline by different religions. Without dishonouring its rich heritage, yoga’s many benefits continue to be recognised by modern western science and different cultures forming what is now the modern-day adaptation of yoga - arguably completely separable from any religion or adaptable by any religion as a spiritual practice. In its most neutral form, however, yoga consists of 3 key components: breath work, movement and meditation.
