Yoga is a system of disciplines that has its roots in ancient India and strives to attain a variety of spiritual and physical ends, including enlightenment. In the same manner that the Jain, Buddhist, and Hindu faiths engage in this spiritual practice. Although it is possible that yoga existed before to the Vedas, the practice was not described for the first time until the early first century BCE onwards. Its origins can be traced back to the eastern Ganges basin, where it developed as a collection of distinct traditions that were adopted from a common set of practices, some of which had Vedic origins. There are references to yoga and other practices that are comparable throughout the Rigveda. In addition to a few of the early Upanishads, the eleventh Upanishad is also included. In the ascetic and Śramaṇa traditions of ancient India, such as Jainism and Buddhism, the first systematic concepts about yoga emerged between the fifth and sixth centuries before the common era (BCE) as stated in Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, a classical Hindu yoga work that has a samkhya-based approach but is influenced by Buddhism, dates back to the early Common Era. It is the ninth and eleventh centuries saw the beginning of the appearance of texts on Hatha yoga, which had its origins in tantra teachings. On the other hand, the Western concept of "yoga" typically refers to a more contemporary style of Hatha yoga that places an emphasis on physical postures (asanas) for the purpose of improving flexibility, balance, and health. This is in contrast to the more traditional emphasis on meditation and liberation from material concerns. Yoga is practiced all over the world. Gurus from India brought it to the United States in the year when Swami Vivekananda's asana-free style of yoga became popular in the late 1800s and early 1900s. As a result of the rise in popularity of hatha yoga in the twentieth century, the Yoga Sutras, which Vivekananda introduced to the Western world, came to the forefront of attention.
