Yoga's origin can be traced back to more than 5,000 years ago, but some researchers believe that yoga may be up to 10,000 years old. The word 'Yoga' first appeared in the oldest sacred texts, the Rig Veda, and is derived from the Sanskrit root "Yuj" which means to unite.
According to the Yoga Scriptures, the practice of yoga leads an individual to a union of consciousness with that of universal consciousness. It eventually leads to a great harmony between the human mind and body, man and nature.

The term 'Ashtanga' was used for the first time by an ancient Indian sage named Patanjali, who wrote The Yoga Sutras; an authoritative text on yoga. Ashtanga is in Sanskrit "Ashta + Anga." "Ashta" means eight and "Anga" is limbs so it means "Eight Limb Method," because Ashtanga Yoga is the practice of these eight limbs to experience the true goal of yoga.
According to Patanjali, the direction of internal purification for the revelation of the Universal Self consists of the following eight spiritual practices: Yama [moral codes] Niyama [self-purification and study] Asana [posture] Pranayama [breath control] Pratyahara [sense control] Dharana [concentration] Dhyana [meditation] Samadhi [absorption into the universal].
