Yoga originated in India around 3,000 to 4,000 years ago, the word originates from the Sanskrit yuj and translates into English as ‘to join’. It is not, as some have believed, a religion, but a philosophy, encompassing exercise, and mental enlightenment through meditation. Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, Jnana Yoga, and Raja Yoga are considered the four main yogas, each with their different sub-divisions, though there are many other types.
