how did "yoga" get here?[edit]

"Yoga is one of the six darshanas (schools) of Vedic/Hindu philosophy, and as such specifically refers to Raja Yoga, the royal path of divine meditation on the one Brahman. A man who has taken up successful practice of Yoga is called a Yogi (also spelled Yogin), a woman Yogini. Several other forms of yoga exist within Hinduism including those of selfless action (Karma Yoga), selfless love (Bhakti Yoga), and discriminatory contemplation (Jnana Yoga). Many modern, non-sectarian hatha yoga schools are popular and focus more on coordination of bodily health in addition to mental and spiritual well-being. "
