Yoga philosophy is one of the six major schools of Hindu philosophy, rooted in the dualistic metaphysics of Samkhya, which posits the universe as composed of Puruṣa (witness-consciousness) and Prakṛti (nature). The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, a foundational text, systematically outlines the principles of Yoga, influencing all other schools of Indian philosophy.
