How old is yoga? Was it always practiced as it is now? How has it changed? In this monograph, we will outline a very brief history of Indian philosophy and yoga’s place in that story. We will use certain important texts, written at various times over the last three thousand years, as markers in the story. They punctuate our story and help us to see how the emphases of yoga have changed according to the climate of the time.
This is essential reading for any student of yoga to help put into context what we do in our yoga classes. It is also an invaluable source of condensed information to anyone who wants to take their research and thinking into the culture, influences and evolution of yoga a little deeper.
