Abstract

Yoga has become the most popular health trend in the world in recent years. In 2014, the United Nations General Assembly approved a resolution establishing 21 June as “International Day of Yoga” and even the logo was designed for the day. And then On December 1, 2016, yoga was listed by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage of humanity.In China, more and more people began to practice Yogaasanaand Pran?ayamasince 1980s, and then most of them began to explore the culture embodied by it. With the deeper understanding of the yoga, it is thought that yoga is a group of physical, mental, and spiritual practices or disciplines which originated in ancient India.What’s more, in yoga culture research, some of the similar wisdom can be found in Chinese wisdom. In this paper, a comparison study was made to explore the wisdom in both India and China to help people in either country to realize self-improvement, to control the desires and at last to make the self- realization. Key Words: yoga; link, culture comparison Policy
