Yoga is an ancient practice that harmonizes the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of an individual. It originated in India over 5,000 years ago. The aim of yoga is to bring balance to the body and mind through poses, breathing, and meditation techniques. There are eight basic elements of yoga, including poses, breathing exercises, and meditation. Yoga and physiotherapy both use similar techniques and positions to improve strength, flexibility, and function of the body. Practicing yoga can provide therapeutic benefits for conditions like hypertension, asthma, back pain, and more.
