Attending a yoga class and practicing the physical postures (asanas) along with the breathwork (pranayama) is a good beginning. There are many different types of yoga not only hatha yoga but there are also raja yoga, bakti yoga,kundalini yoga, karma yoga, and it all depends on how u take it. there for it is not religion, Yoga is compatible with whatever religion you practice or also if you do not have a religion. If one is religious and spiritual, then Yoga should help deepen one’s own religious beliefs as it provides clearer insights into spiritual states that arise from within.
However, if you are not religious in any way, Yoga does not force you to believe in any particular belief. You simply follow the Yoga practices and allow yourself to appreciate whatever benefits that you experience for yourself.

The Origin of Yoga
Yoga is one of the most ancient cultural heritage of India. The word yoga in Sanskrit means "to unite", and so yoga can be said to connote a unitive discipline. In this sense it is an exercise in moral and mental cultivation that generates good health (arogya), contributes to longevity (chirayu), and the total intrinsic discipline culminates into positive and perennial happiness and peace. Therefore, yoga is the said to be indispensable of the ultimate accomplishment in life. It is a science that affects not only the conscious self but the subconscious as well. It is a practical physiological training (kriya yoga), which if practiced can exalt man to the 'supra mundane level'.
The origin of Yoga lies hidden in the mists of prehistory. It slowly evolved and developed by the ancient sages, not only in India but also all over the world. Generally the techniques of Yoga were passed on from teacher or guru to their disciples by word of mouth.
Some of the earliest written texts which mention Yoga and allude to its practice were the ancient Vedas which are approximately 4000 years old.
More direct descriptions were later written down by the Yogi Patanjali and are often mentioned as the oldest written record of Yoga. These ancient texts are approx 2000 years old.

The Yoga which we see today in the West generally originated from India and came to the Western world over the past 100 years. There are now various schools of Yoga which are available. These types of Yoga have evolved from teacher to student so that each Yogi has added their own flavor to the ancient practices. Some begin with quite strong postures while others begin very gently and gradually get stronger with the pace and ability of the person learning.
