A five-thousand-year-old transcription by the Indus valley civilization on fragile palm leaves has paved the way for an innovative weight loss therapy. Yoga was mentioned in the Indian collection of Vedic Sanskrit hymns, the Rigveda.
Researchers have traced yoga to over a thousand years ago, and its rich history is divided into periods of innovation, practice, and development.
Yoga was refined and developed by the Rishis and Brahmans who documented their training in the Upanishads. This practice was later developed over several years into what now is practiced as Yoga.
The discipline has 5 basic principles:
- Exercise
- Diet
- Breathing
- Relaxation
- Meditation

- Improved respiration
- Improved energy and vitality
