I just tried Yoga for the first time, i found out that i am not flexible at all haha, have you ever tried it?
No, and don't intend to - I can hurt myself in so many ways without it. That said, I should like it as it apparently originated in India, which is where my uncle comes from.
I did not know it originated there, i bet it was a long time ago, do you happen to know when people started to do yoga?
There's a lot of speculation as to its origins, but it's thought it developed around the 6th and 5th centuries BCE in ancient India.
Wow, that is old, was it connected to religion in any way, or just a form of excercise?
It was, and probably still is, practiced in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. Yoga gurus from India introduced it to the West in the late 19th century.
I wonder why they waited for so long before introducing it to the west, was there a reason for it?
Don't know. It could be because yoga in India is more than just physical exercise, with a meditative and spiritual side to it. In the West it seems to be used mainly for exercise.
