This course examines the philosophy
and practice of yoga from its
inception in India to its global
variations in the present day. How do
contemporary forms of yoga connect
to premodern forms developed in
India? What are the similarities and
differences between yoga traditions?
We explore early yoga traditions as
well as the development of modern
postural yoga in India and the West
and trace the history of yoga from
ancient texts like the Yoga Sutra
to modern practices developed
by innovators such as Bikram and
Iyengar. This course does not include
physical yoga practice.
