Is downward dog really ancient? When did modern day yoga start to take form? In this episode I get into a little bit of the research I’ve been doing around modern postural yoga.
In this episode I discuss:
~What I learned about yoga history
~Where the standing poses of yoga came from
~The beauty of cultural transmigration
~The women behind what became modern day yoga
~The relationship we’ve ALL been in
