Yoga’s exact origin remains a mystery. There is some evidence to indicate that early forms of Yoga may have existed as far back as 2500-1500 BCE, in the Indus Valley region of India. Sculptures of figures seated in what looks like lotus postures have been found from this era. Still, because the script accompanying the figures is unknown, it is not possible to determine with any certainty if the sculptures are representations of a yoga posture, or simply one-way of sitting on the floor.
