Yoga is a set of physical, mental, and spiritual practices that have their roots in ancient India. The word yoga means union. The goal of yoga is to tame and quiet the mind (sunyata) by realizing a witnessing, detached awareness that is not influenced by the mind (chitta) and worldly suffering (dukkha). Yoga has a wide range of schools, practices, and goals in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism, and both traditional and modern yoga is practiced around the world.
