For thousands of years, Yoga has been increasingly supplemented and developed. It has trended to separate away from the engagement of all religions so as to meet the needs of human toward the good. Obviously, Yoga has not caused any obstacle and it has just focused on developing personal level in terms of the human physical, spirit, intellect.

Thus, over thousands of years, in spite of the fact that the social history has had several tremendous changes, instead of being faded, Yoga has been strongly growing not only in India but also other countries such as Pakistan, Bangladest, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Japan, Vietnam... and even Western countries such as France, UK, USA, Switzerland... Until now, it has nearly 200 countries practicing Yoga.
In India, people practice yoga every day and it becomes a sport for training body both in physical and spirit.
