Yoga is a system of self-knowledge, which is based on the axiomatics of yoga and all the conclusions that are drawn from it. In yoga lies all the experience that yogis and yoginis of antiquity received. This experience, which they received while doing self-knowledge, tells us that every person living on Earth has common ancestors, yoga teachers.
Teachers in yoga are people who have already passed the path that you and I still have to go. To a greater extent, the knowledge of yoga has been preserved in the eastern countries. In Western countries, there is practically nothing left of knowledge, only echoes.
There is a myth in India that yoga came from the north. Perhaps we are talking about the Himalayas, it is possible that this is the territory of modern Russia.
The Greeks have historical evidence of the existence of a very strange place, where six months a day, six months a night. They called this place Hyperborea, which means "super-northern country". This country is very similar to the places where the concepts of polar day and polar night exist. And it was there, as ancient sources say, that the knowledge of yoga was born, and only then it spread throughout the world.
In the Chelyabinsk region, in 1987, cities were discovered so ancient that they are considered the same age as Troy. And before that, it was believed that the territory of the modern Cis-Urals was empty and never had a civilization. Archaeological excavations have canceled out this assumption of scientists. Moreover, these facts gave the myths of India a real foundation. This is all very interesting even from the point of view of the history of human development.
It is worth saying that yoga does not attach much importance to such facts. Yes, it is interesting to find confirmation of some hypotheses, but nothing more. This is due to the fact that true yoga does not and has never relied on territorial affiliation.
Yoga is such knowledge that belongs to all of humanity. No division by country, continent or nation! Know that the one who tells you that yoga is an Indian system or something in this spirit, in yoga, as a system of self-knowledge, does not understand!
