Do you have a hunger to know more about yoga’s origins? After 3+ years of research, propelled by my own unanswered questions, I’m *SO* excited to have assembled my History of Yoga Course, designed for passionate yoga students and teachers.
The true origins of Yoga, REVEALED.
Detailed timeline of how yoga evolved from 4,000 BCE through today
Presentations on the Vedas, Upanishads, Time of Siddhartha (the Buddha), the Bhagavad Gita, the Yoga Sutras, and the Hatha Yoga Pradipika
Evolution of modern yoga postures – from Krishnamacharya, Patthabi Jois, Iyengar, TKV Deiskchar, and Paramahansa Yogananda
I wanted to go beyond the Yoga Sutras, and dive into the Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita, and Hatha Yoga Pradipika…
HOW did yoga evolve from a spiritual practice, thousands of years ago, into the group fitness classes we practice today?
WHICH yoga asana are ancient, dating back thousands of years? Which are modern inventions?
WHO was yoga designed for? And are we honoring those intentions today?
Yoga is not static.
It’s been evolving since 5,000 BCE.
Yoga has ancient roots, but has always been in a state of constant metamorphosis.
I created this History of Yoga program due to my own unanswered questions about yoga’s origins.
The best part is finally here… getting to share all that I discovered with YOU!
