Where Did Yoga Originate? Yoga refers to traditional physical and mental disciplines originating in India. The history of Yoga spans from four to eight thousand years ago to the current day. The physical, mental and spiritual health benefits of yoga are vast and there is something for everyone.
Around this time, new schools of yoga introduced meditation on a larger scale to Hindus in India, presumably as a response to the cultural oppression by British colonialists. Vipassana meditation, which originated in India 2,500 years ago, saw a resurgence in Burma in the 1950s. This practice focuses on self-transformation by self-observation or mindful awareness and it can be considered the basis for secular modern meditation practices.
