The History of Yoga

Yoga has established itself as an effective alternative therapy across the world, yet few people know of it's philosophical and historical origins. The History of Yoga takes you through a 6,000 year developmental history of yoga, from the times of Harappa Civilization to the Medieval Ages to the 19th century, when modern science shed new light on the potential of yoga. The film crew traveled 35,000 km - across India, Nepal, Europe and North America – consulting distinguished scholars, archaeological sites, museum and library collections and temples & shrines. Their research is woven together with breathtaking photography, meditative songs and music.

A discussion with the filmmakers will immediately follow the 45-minute film and focus on both the continuity of and changes in Yoga and its relationship to Indian culture and civilization.
