Yoga: How It Began
There is no written record of the beginning of the history of yoga, only that it dates back to ancient times and was passed on from one generation to the next by word of mouth. Not until much later was it written in text on palm leaves. So, it is not easy to tell how, when or where this form of exercise and breathing actually began. Many of the written records on it have been lost, damaged or destroyed by the passage of time, thereby making it hard to pinpoint the exact date when it all began.
Eight Thousand Years Old
It is believed that yoga began about eight thousand years ago, though some put its true age at about only four thousand years back, though the first records of yoga date back to about 3000 BC. It was about this time that people living in the Indus Valley civilization began to practice yoga and it continued until 1500 B.C. when the Vedic civilizations also practiced it.
