Who invented yoga?
Long before the written record was published, the inventor of yoga had no written record of when the yogi (yoga practitioner) practiced yoga. For thousands of years, Yogi has taught students the subject, and with its development, they have built many different yoga schools. It is generally believed that one of the earliest reports and texts on yoga was written by Patanjali, an Indian yoga devotee who lived 2000-2500 years ago. Patanjali wrote Yogasutra (the formula is "line" in Sanskrit) and the principles, philosophy, and practices of Yoga are still preserved today. Many yoga schools have developed over the centuries, but they all follow the same basic principles. Buddhism and other oriental spiritual traditions use many yoga techniques or derivatives of these techniques.
