There is a wide variety of schools of yoga practices and goals in Hinduism Buddhism and Jainism and traditional and modern yoga is practiced worldwide.Two general theories exist on the origins of yoga. The linear model holds that yoga originated in the Vedic period as reflected in the Vedic textual corpus and influenced Buddhism; according to author Edward Fitzpatrick Crangle this model is mainly supported by Hindu scholars.
