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.

Yoga has evolved into a worldwide wellness practice, blending ancient traditions with modern fitness, stress relief, and mindfulness. read less
