I have been trying Yoga lately, but am not very good at it.  Do you do Yoga?
I do not yet, but its been around since the sixth and fifth centuries it seems.
You are kidding!  I thought Yoga was a new age thing.  Who invented it?
The earlier texts give credit to the Hindus.
Interesting.  Was Yoga a religious thing or was it just for health reasons?
It did not become known as a exercise until the 1980s
I sort of figured that.  There is too much focus on other aspects other than the actual stretching actions to think it was just for exercise.
It still does have a spiritual core though.
What religion is it based off of?
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 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 sometimes between the 9th and 11th century with origins in tantra.
