I've been trying new Yoga poses recently. Do you like yoga?
I tried it once but found it was really not for me.  I know that some find the practice of physical, mental, and spiritual well being very helpful though
Absolutely. I'm not the best at remembering any of the poses or their names but it is relaxing.
apparently yoga originated in ancient India
I didn't know that. I would like to learn the history of yoga and how it came to be.
I read that among the most well-known types of yoga are Hatha Yoga and Raja yoga
Cool. I've only heard of Kundalini Yoga but have never tried it. 
It was in the 1980's that yoga became popular as a form of physical exercise across most of the Western world
Yes, a very popular form of physical exercise indeed. I would do yoga poses over running any day!
Yoga in the Indian traditions is more than physical its roots are more meditative and spiritual
