For literally thousands of years Yoga was a way of life for people in India; people who were seeking a connection between themselves and spirit.
But even though it originated in India, Yoga has now migrated to the West and has spread throughout the world. In the 1960's several a number of Yogis, like B.K.S. Iyengar, Swami Santayana, Swami Vishnu-Devananda and Swami Satchitananda, at the behest of their masters, took the practice and knowledge of Yoga to the West. Ever since, there has been a big change from conventional to the more "western friendly" Yoga styles. That does not, in any way, mean that traditional Yoga and its lifestyle are not to be found and practiced in the West; they are probably not as visible as more mainstream versions.
