This article aims to bring a snippet of the historical path of Yoga, identifying its benefits, knowing a little of its practices and conduct to be performed. The word Yoga comes from the Sanskrit root yuj, whose meaning refers to the yoke, joining, union, communion, integration. We can define the Yoga as a set of values, attitudes, precepts and spiritual techniques from India, responsible for founding the ancient civilization of India. The practice of Yoga is based on a need to deepen the spiritual dimension as a way of being able to connect more authentically with yourself and the world. We can understand spirituality through any experience that can produce profound change within each person and can lead to an integration not only personal, but also an integration with the world. Therefore, the Yoga proposes to work, promoting in being a physical, mental, and spiritual recovery of the subject. The practice of Yoga, in the face of meditation exercise, can contribute to the decrease of cortisol and adrenaline levels, improving the activation of the parasympathetic nervous system, reducing anxiety and stress, consequently acting in an improvement of sleep and pain. The secularization process brought effective changes to the religious field, especially with regard to the “new” religions. In this context, new spiritualities were emerging and gaining space and strength. This contributed to the reach of Yoga to be more and more widespread, learned and incorporated into one of the alternative practices that can bring health benefits.
