1. Yoga was invented over 100 years ago by members of the Hindu elite.

2. The physical postures were borrowed from European exercise regimes.

3. The religious and philosophical elements were largely borrowed from a combination of Western interpretations of Hindu religion, and a new religious movement called theosophy, which started in nineteenth century Europe.

4. European study of historical Indian texts was co-opted by Hindu leaders, and used to create a pseudo-history of yoga as an ancient tradition.

5. Hindu yoga teachers used their newly invented tradition to stir up Hindu nationalism in India, and to criticize Western culture and society.

6. These same yoga teachers embarked on highly successful international advertising campaigns in Europe and North America, promoting and selling yoga as superior to Western religion and spirituality.

It has a lot of traits coming from western new age transcendental stuff. A lot of people believe it was just called yoga to make it seem more exotic and ancient, when it's really a modern European invention.

Modern day yoga is basically an invention by a jeet who used it as a way to bang Hollywood chicks and not get jailed for graping.

It's just a cult with 0 value.
