They revealed many statues of Lord Shiva and Shakti performing various asanas and meditation. The first written information about yoga was mentioned in the Vedas, the oldest scriptures of Sanatana Dharma (Hinduism). Later, Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras described yoga in more detail. This is often called the eight-fold path, which is comprised of Yama \u2013 self-restraints, Niyama \u2013 self-observances, Asana \u2013 yoga postures, Pranayama \u2013 breath control, Pratyahara \u2013 dissociation of consciousness from outside environment, Dharana \u2013 concentration, Dhyana \u2013 meditation, and Samadhi \u2013 identification with pure consciousness.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Today, interest in yoga is constantly growing.
