The word yoga, which means “to integrate”, has its roots in the Vedas, an Indian text approximately 5,000 years ago. Although it is mentioned in religious texts, it has nothing to do with religion. Because there is no need for a religious leader or religious doctrine to practice and benefit from yoga. Yoga is a practice done to stay healthy and activate the life force energy found within every person. However, if it is turned into a lifestyle, it also has a mystical dimension. Because it has a holistic, holistic philosophy about knowing oneself and understanding the whole, and even becoming one with the whole.
Although yoga has been known in the Indian subcontinent and the Far East for thousands of years, it was discovered by the Western world after the 1950s. It quickly entered daily life, and was enjoyed and experienced by many layers of society, from athletes to artists, managers to students. In the Bhagavad Gita, it is said that “Yoga is harmony.” It harmonizes the parts and systems of the body, harmonizes the body with the mind, man with nature, and the individual with society.

Breathing is more than just breathing in and out to sustain life. It is closely related to our mind and emotions. When a person experiences physical pain or emotional trauma, their breathing is the first thing that is affected. When we receive bad news, the body and lungs contract, while when we receive good news, the body and lungs open up with relief. In our daily lives, we use definitions such as “breath holding”, “back stabbing”, “chest pain” that indicate the effects of breath on our bodies. Based on the fact that emotions and physical effects affect our breathing in this way, we can say that we can change our emotions and physical posture by changing our breathing. We also see how this happens in physical activities.
