Abstract

Yoga is a very important place in Indian thought.

Though the history of yoga-practice is very ancient in Indian tradition, yoga-related actions are found in the Upanishads, Mahabharata, Bhagwad Gita, Jain and Buddhist opinions, but firstly Maharishi Patanjali discussed the yoga as a composite philosophical doctrine.

In it there is a squeezing of ideas about austerity and deep thinking, which were then ambiguous and indefinitely present.
