A Sage named "Hiranyagarbha“ who lived about 5000 years ago introduced yoga to the world as an exercise.Before and after that, many great sages have engaged in researches in the philosophy of Yoga. All these researches were consolidated and contributed to the world in the way it is seen today by a saint named "Patanjali"who lived about 2200 years ago. The book"Pathanjala Yoga Sutra“written by him is the guide of modern Yoga. Patanjali defines Yoga as 'Jivatma Paramatma Samyogaath Yoga'.That means Yoga is the union of the living soul and the supreme soul.
