Dear MEL
Topic Readers,
Yoga: How did
it conquer the world and what's changed?
Yoga is a set
of physical, mental, and spiritual practices or disciplines originated in
ancient India. It was originally developed in the sixth or fifth centuries BCE
and practiced within religious communities. It aims were to integrate and
harmonize different personalities of a human; physical, mental, emotional,
social and spiritual. It evolved gradually mainly in the subcontinent until the
20th century when it was introduced to the rest of the world. There,
this originally-spiritual mediation became popular as a physical exercise.
Now Yoga is not
only listed as UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage, but also International
Day of Yoga is observed on June 21st, the after the World Refugee
Day, by the UN. It is probably the most popular Indian tradition that is known
to and practiced in the world.
Enjoy reading
the text and think which of those five aspects you would like try to heel or
enhance.
