Analytical Study of the Philosophy of Yoga

Abstract

The article is about the objectives related to yoga, the founder of yoga, the origins of yoga, the types of yoga, and the fundamental teachings of yoga. Therefore, it can be concluded that Yoga originated when the sage Patanjali compiled and systematized knowledge about Yoga into "Yogashastra." Classified within the six schools of Hindu philosophy, Yoga's core teachings elucidate methods of practice, training, and body control, alongside Hindu philosophical principles. Contrary to ancient times, like the Vedic or epic era, this era of Yoga incorporates rational explanations. It represents a phase where Indian philosophy embraced a blended approach, encompassing teachings, rational explanations, and practical principles.
