When did yoga become popular?

Yoga began gaining popularity in the West during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly with the arrival of Indian yogis and philosophers who introduced its spiritual and physical practices. The 1960s and 1970s saw a significant surge in interest, driven by the counterculture movement, which embraced Eastern philosophies and holistic health. Today, yoga has evolved into a widely practiced form of exercise and mindfulness, enjoyed by millions around the globe.
