All things that are beautiful and worth while are generally hidden behind the mines of secrecy, or far away, in another distant country. Gems are found in rare places, and everything that is worth while, we have to find with the pick-axe of understanding and wisdom, or through modern technology like the internet. One of the gems we found is located in Beirut, Lebanon, and is called Beirut Yoga Center.

Yoga is a group of physical, mental, and spiritual practices or disciplines which originated in ancient India. Yoga is one of the six orthodox schools of Hindu philosophical traditions.[2] [3] There is a broad variety of yoga schools, practices, and goals[4] in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism.[5][6][7] The term “yoga” in the Western world often denotes a modern form of Hatha yoga, which includes the physical practice of postures called asanas.
The origins of yoga have been speculated to date back to pre-Vedic Indiantraditions; it is mentioned in the Rigveda,[note 1] but most likely developed around the sixth and fifth centuries BCE,[9] in ancient India’s ascetic and śramaṇamovements.[10][note 2] The chronology of earliest texts describing yoga-practices is unclear, varyingly credited to Upanishads.[11] The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali date from the first half of the 1st millennium CE,[12][13] but only gained prominence in the West in the 20th century.[14] Hatha yoga texts emerged around the 11th century with origins in tantra.[15][16]
Yoga gurus from India later introduced yoga to the West,[17] following the success of Swami Vivekananda in the late 19th and early 20th century.[17] In the 1980s, yoga became popular as a system of physical exercise across the Western world.[16]Yoga in Indian traditions, however, is more than physical exercise; it has a meditative and spiritual core.[18] One of the six major orthodox schools of Hinduism is also called Yoga, which has its own epistemology and metaphysics, and is closely related to Hindu Samkhya philosophy.[19]
Many studies have tried to determine the effectiveness of modern postural yoga as a complementary intervention for cancer, schizophrenia, asthma, and heart disease.[20][21] The results of these studies have been mixed and inconclusive.[20][21]On December 1, 2016, yoga was listed by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage.[22]
