'''Yogi''' is a term in [[Hinduism]] and [[Buddhism]] that refers to a person who practices [[yoga]]. The term is derived from the Sanskrit root ''yuj'', which means to join or unite. In a broader sense, a yogi is anyone who is committed to a path of spiritual development.

== History ==

The concept of the yogi has its origins in ancient India, where it was used to describe a practitioner of yoga. The earliest references to yogis and their practices can be found in the [[Upanishads]], a collection of Hindu scriptures that were written between 800 and 200 BCE.

== Practices ==

Yogis engage in a variety of practices aimed at achieving spiritual enlightenment. These include [[meditation]], [[breathing exercises]], and the performance of physical postures known as [[asanas]]. Some yogis also follow a strict diet and adhere to ethical guidelines known as the [[Yamas]] and [[Niyamas]].

== Types of Yogis ==

There are many different types of yogis, each with their own unique approach to the practice of yoga. These include:

* '''[[Hatha yogis]]''': These yogis focus on the physical aspects of yoga, including the asanas and breathing exercises.
* '''[[Raja yogis]]''': These yogis emphasize meditation and the control of the mind.
* '''[[Jnana yogis]]''': These yogis seek enlightenment through the pursuit of knowledge and wisdom.
* '''[[Bhakti yogis]]''': These yogis express their spirituality through devotion to a personal deity.
* '''[[Karma yogis]]''': These yogis believe in achieving enlightenment through selfless action.

== In Popular Culture ==

The term yogi has been adopted by Western culture to refer to anyone who practices yoga, regardless of their level of spiritual commitment. It is also used in a more general sense to refer to anyone who is perceived as being wise or enlightened.
