[{"role": "system", "content": "Yoga (; Sanskrit, \u092f\u094b\u0917\u0903 Listen) is a group of physical, mental, and spiritual practices or disciplines which originated in ancient India. There is a broad variety of yoga schools, practices, and goals in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. Among the most well-known types of yoga are Hatha yoga and R\u0101ja yoga. The origins of yoga have been speculated to date back to pre-Vedic Indian traditions; it is mentioned in the Rigveda, but most likely developed around the sixth and fifth centuries BCE, in ancient India's ascetic and \u015brama\u1e47a movements. The chronology of earliest texts describing yoga-practices is unclear, varyingly credited to Hindu Upanishads. The \"Yoga Sutras of Patanjali\" date from the first half of the 1st millennium CE, but only gained prominence in the West in the 20th century. Hatha yoga texts emerged around the 11th century with origins in tantra. Yoga gurus from India later introduced yoga to the West, following the success of Swami Vivekananda in the late 19th and early 20th century. In the 1980s, yoga became popular as a system of physical exercise across the Western world. Yoga in Indian traditions, however, is more than physical exercise; it has a meditative and spiritual core.\n"}, {"role": "user", "content": "How hard is Yoga to learn?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Hello, well since it has been around a long time and in the 80's it became really popular as exercise, they have really made it quite easy to learn."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Is yoga a religion or just a stretching exercise?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Well I do know that in the Indian practices it has a meditation and works with the spirtual core as with the physical core."}, {"role": "user", "content": "I know yoga uses a lot of Indian words for exercises, do i have to know what they mean?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "In the beginning of yoga they developed alot of ascetic and sramana movements along with mantras.
