Yoga is a group of physical, mental, and spiritual practices or disciplines which originated in ancient India and aim to control (yoke) and still the mind, recognizing a detached witness-consciousness untouched by the mind (Chitta) and mundane suffering (Duḥkha).

There are many schools of yoga, practices, and goals throughout Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. Both a traditional, religious form of yoga and the more modern, exercised-based yoga are practiced worldwide.

Classical yoga incorporates epistemology, metaphysics, ethical practices, systematic exercises and self-development for body, mind and spirit.
