What are the oldest postures? Was the Buddha a yogi? Who named the asana, "chair-pose"? When did yoga reach the US? Which parts of this history are romanticized, alternative "facts"? Join us for a whirlwind tour of texts, teachers, and traditions from 5000+ years ago to the ever-changing modern moment.
