Hi Everyone

 

A new book has just come out - 'Yoga Body: origins of modern posture

practice' by Mark Singleton. Essentially, it questions many of the

assumptions about our physical practice and suggests that the asanas that we

do are actually drawn much more from 19thc bodybuilding and gymnastics than

ancient yogic texts. I highly recommend this book as part of the process of

debate and discussion within yoga.

 

I have written a piece in response to this book - if you would like to read

my thoughts, then go to

Best wishes and keep practicing
