Hatha Yoga (15th century) emphasized physical postures and breath control. In the 19th and 20th centuries, yogis like Swami Vivekananda and Krishnamacharya introduced yoga globally. Today, styles like Hatha, Vinyasa, and Ashtanga focus on physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Yoga has evolved into a worldwide wellness practice, blending ancient traditions with modern fitness, stress relief, and mindfulness. read less
