Yoga, the ancient science of physical, mental and spiritual disciplines, has been in practise from as long as fifth or sixth century BCE in India. The evidence for this has been found in the historical remains from the Indus Valley Civilization. Some of the important textual sources of Yoga include the Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita, the Mahabharata and the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.

In yoga, the attainment of a healthy body with a sound mind is the ultimate aim. Other than becoming aware of oneself, controlling emotions and thinking straight, yoga also helps one attain Moksha, the liberation from all worldly sufferings.

The great sage Patanjali, is the well known propagator of Yoga and the writer of the book Yoga Sutras. Here he spoke of a eight fold path from pain and suffering through Yoga of which the first five elements are the External or Hath Yoga and the last three are internal or raja Yoga. These two types of yoga are the well known. The lakhs of asanas in yoga help getting a healthy body and strong mind.
