由於瑜伽的文本教義古老,被視為神聖和秘密。他一般由老師經口述傳給學生,因此內容上在許多地方模糊和具有不確定性。瑜伽的早期著作常被抄寫在棕櫚葉上,這些葉子易碎、容易損壞或丟失。也讓瑜伽的知識傳播出現不同的版本很容易佚失。
瑜伽的發展可以追溯到五千多年前,但一些研究人員認為瑜伽可能有長達一萬年的歷史。瑜伽悠久的歷史可分為 前經典瑜伽時期、經典瑜伽時期、後經典瑜伽時期和現代瑜伽時期四個主要時期。
Yoga’s history has many places of obscurity and uncertainty due to its oral transmission of sacred texts and the secretive nature of its teachings. The early writings on yoga were transcribed on fragile palm leaves that were easily damaged, destroyed or lost. The development of yoga can be traced back to over 5,000 years ago, but some researchers think that yoga may be up to 10,000 years old. Yoga’s long rich history can be divided into four main periods of innovation, practice and development.
