Yoga meditation originated in India, with a history and culture of more than 5,000 years, and is known as the "treasure of the world". Yoga originated in the Himalayan foothills of northern India. While sitting and meditating in the forest, yogis stumble upon various animals and plants that have innate ways of healing, relaxing, sleeping, or staying awake.

After thousands of years of research and induction, a set of theoretically complete, accurate and practical health and fitness system has been gradually formed. The yoga meditation we are learning now mainly consists of two parts: yoga breathing and yoga asana.
