∙ 12y agoYoga is a physical, mental, and spiritual discipline, originating in ancient India. Note that it goes back to a time before India existed as a unified country. The exact location where it orginated is not certain. Several seals discovered at Indus Valley Civilization sites, dating to the mid 3rd millennium BC, depict figures in positions resembling a common yoga or meditation pose, showing a form of ritual discipline, suggesting a precursor of yoga. Some type of connection between the Indus Valley seals and later yoga and meditation practices is speculated upon by many scholars, though there is no conclusive evidence.
