Yoga <=SEP=> Yoga ( -LSB- ˈjoʊgə -RSB- Sanskrit , योग Listen ) is a group of physical , mental , and spiritual practices or disciplines which originated in ancient India . There is a broad variety of Yoga schools , practices , and goals in Hinduism , Buddhism , and Jainism . Among the most well-known types of yoga are Hatha yoga and Rāja yoga .   The origins of yoga have been speculated to date back to pre-Vedic Indian traditions ; it is mentioned in the Rigveda , but most likely developed around the sixth and fifth centuries BCE , in ancient India 's ascetic and śramaṇa movements . The chronology of earliest texts describing yoga-practices is unclear , varyingly credited to Hindu Upanishads . The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali date from the first half of the 1st millennium CE , but only gained prominence in the West in the 20th century . Hatha yoga texts emerged around the 11th century with origins in tantra .   Yoga gurus from India later introduced yoga to the west , following the success of Swami Vivekananda in the late 19th and early 20th century . In the 1980s , yoga became popular as a system of physical exercise across the Western world . Yoga in Indian traditions , however , is more than physical exercise ; it has a meditative and spiritual core . One of the six major orthodox schools of Hinduism is also called Yoga , which has its own epistemology and metaphysics , and is closely related to Hindu Samkhya philosophy .   Many studies have tried to determine the effectiveness of yoga as a complementary intervention for cancer , schizophrenia , asthma , and heart disease . The results of these studies have been mixed and inconclusive , with cancer studies suggesting none to unclear effectiveness , and others suggesting yoga may reduce risk factors and aid in a patient 's psychological healing process . On December 1 , 2016 , Yoga was listed as UNESCO 's Intangible cultural heritage .

Hinduism <=SEP=> Hinduism is a religion , or a way of life , found most notably in India and Nepal . Hinduism has been called the oldest religion in the world , and some practitioners and scholars refer to it as , `` the eternal law , '' or the `` eternal way , '' beyond human origins . Scholars regard Hinduism as a fusion or synthesis of various Indian cultures and traditions , with diverse roots and no founder . This `` Hindu synthesis '' started to develop between 500 BCE and 300 CE following the Vedic period ( 1500 BCE to 500 BCE ) .   Although Hinduism contains a broad range of philosophies , it is linked by shared concepts , recognisable rituals , cosmology , shared textual resources , and pilgrimage to sacred sites . Hindu texts are classified into Shruti ( `` heard '' ) and Smriti ( `` remembered '' ) . These texts discuss theology , philosophy , mythology , Vedic yajna , Yoga , agamic rituals , and temple building , among other topics . Major scriptures include the Vedas and Upanishads , the Bhagavad Gita , and the Agamas . Sources of authority and eternal truths in its texts play an important role , but there is also a strong Hindu tradition of the questioning of this authority , to deepen the understanding of these truths and to further develop the tradition .   Prominent themes in Hindu beliefs include the four Puruṣārthas , the proper goals or aims of human life , namely Dharma ( ethics/duties ) , Artha ( prosperity/work ) , Kama ( desires/passions ) and Moksha ( liberation/freedom/salvation ) ; karma ( action , intent and consequences ) , samsara ( cycle of rebirth ) , and the various Yogas ( paths or practices to attain moksha ) . Hindu practices include rituals such as puja ( worship ) and recitations , meditation , family-oriented rites of passage , annual festivals , and occasional pilgrimages . Some Hindus leave their social world and material possessions , then engage in lifelong Sannyasa ( monastic practices ) to achieve Moksha . Hinduism prescribes the eternal duties , such as honesty , refraining from injuring living beings ( ahimsa ) , patience , forbearance , self-restraint , and compassion , among others .   Hinduism is the world 's third largest religion , with over one billion followers or 15 % of the global population , known as Hindus . The majority of Hindus reside in India , Nepal , Mauritius , the Caribbean , and Bali in Indonesia .
