The history of yoga is based during the epoch of the
Indus Valley civilization. The yoga exercises and philosophies are practiced by
the Indus to instigate spiritual growth and awareness. The yogis promote inner
unification with the finite jiva or transitory self and with the infinite
Brahman or eternal self. Brahman is a name used by the Hindus to mean 'God.'
