  1. The History of Yoga Ashley McNair

  2. The Establishment of Yoga • the roots of Yoga can be traced as long as 5000 years back • earliest reference to Yoga was found when archeological excavations where made in the Indus valley • Archeological findings revealed a portrait of a human being or god meditating in what looks like a Yoga posture

  3. The 6 types of Yoga 1.) Vedic Yoga 2.) Pre-classical yoga 3.) Classical yoga 4.) Post-classical yoga 5.) Modern Yoga 6.) Yoga Today

  4. Vedic Yoga • The Vedas is the sacred scripture of Brahmanism that is the basis of modern-day Hinduism • The Vedas is a compilation of hymns and rituals over 3000 years old • Revolves around the thought of reuniting the visible material world with the invisible spiritual world by sacrificing certain things.

  5. Pre- Classical Yoga • The creation of the Upanishads marks the Pre-Classical Yoga. • The 200 scriptures of the Upanishads describe the inner vision of reality resulting from devotion to Brahman. • These explain three subjects: the ultimate reality (Brahman), the transcendental self (atman), and the relationship between the two. The Upanishads further explain the teachings of the Vedas.

  6. Classical Yoga • The eight-limbed Yoga described in the Sutras by Patanjali is usually referred to as Classical Yoga. • The Yoga Sutras where most likely written around year 100-200 A.C. and consists of about 200 aphorisms • Many yogis see it as an important source of yogic understanding

  7. Post- Classical • Post-classical Yoga differs from the first three since its focus is more on the present. It no longer strives to liberate a person from reality but rather teaches one to accept it and live at the moment. • As opposed to Patanjalis's Yoga, the Yoga of this era was, very much like the post-classical and Vedic traditions, characterized by an non-dualistic nature.

  8. Modern Yoga • Began at the Parliament of Religions in Chicago, 1893 • Swami Vivekananda made his historic address that proliferate the movement of yogic concepts to the West • Yoga schools where founded and increasing numbers of people fell in love with the yogic forms of exercise

  9. Yoga Today • Gained tremendously in popularity during the last few years, and today over 30 million people practice Yoga on a regular basis • Most rapidly growing health movement of today, despite having existed for thousands of years already • Yoga helps people to gain control over the stress that exists in their everyday lives
