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. We will sort through the (mis/dis)information in yoga’s past and current expressions to learn about "what happened." This exploration will inspire you to think more about all personal and community histories. Includes an introduction to Sanskrit, the language of yoga, and key texts from a range of time periods: Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita, Yoga Sutras, and Tantras.

Lecture and Q&A discussion. Discover ancient yogic literature, art, Sanskrit terms, and more. 5000+ year timeline and additional handouts provided.
