Did yoga appear through Creation or Darwin's Theory?

Did yoga appear given to man by the Gods or did it appear through spontaneous swinging and stretching of muscles over a critical period of time?

This is said in the bhagavat Gita by God himself,

Bg 4.1 — The Personality of Godhead, Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa, said: I instructed this imperishable science of yoga to the sun-god, Vivasvān, and Vivasvān instructed it to Manu, the father of mankind, and Manu in turn instructed it to Ikṣvāku.
Bg 4.2 — This supreme science was thus received through the chain of disciplic succession, and the saintly kings understood it in that way. But in course of time the succession was broken, and therefore the science as it is appears to be lost.

Well, yoga predates Darwin by thousands of years, so I don't think his Theory caused it.
In fact, evolution and creationism could equally explain it.

You mean the practice of yoga? It's just people who finally had enough to eat - a few thousand years back - and had extra time to fool with ideas about their physical bodies.

Yoga was invented in the 60s.

Meditation leads to demon possession; so, don't meditate; thanks.
