This has been practiced for almost five thousand years, and it is a certain form of body conditioning that is known to place an emphasis on strengthening the mind and the body, while at the same time stimulating the soul.
Yogi and Yogini refer to male and female practitioners of yoga respectively. The practice is considered to be an applied science that deals with mind and body and it is one among the six famous orthodox systems of Indian philosophy.
