The Origins of Yoga
Beyond Down Dog, Seminars
The History and Evolution of Yoga from Ancient Roots to Modernity
With Karen Andersen and Chris Dunphy
The origins of yoga are mysterious and controversial, and its evolution is tangled and mystical. How did yoga evolve to be what we know it today? What can we learn from the roots and traditional forms of practice?
In this workshop, we will examine and discuss this rich tradition of long standing and interwoven lineages, each offering a set of yoga practices, often grouped into “limbs” or “anga” in Sanskrit. A widely recognized framework of practices today are eight limbs of yoga (aṣṭānga yoga or rāja yoga) that were transcribed in the Yoga Sūtras of Patañjali, a two-thousand year old text that forms the basis of Classical Yoga philosophy. In this workshop, we will examine each of the eight limbs, and explore the practices on and off the mat.
