Eric Shaw paints a compelling picture of an East-to-West Revolution in consciousness,
revealing how Indian and American culture re-created yoga and changed how both societies see the world.
Come and learn how yoga made its way to this country. The tradition of Yoga has always been passed on,
individually from teacher to student through oral teaching and practical demonstration. Yoga is not a religion,
it is a system of techniques that can be used for a number of goals, from simply managing stress better, learning
to relax, and increasing limberness all the way to becoming more self-aware and acquiring the deepest knowledge
of one’s own self (Self Realization). The art, science, and formal techniques that are now known as Yoga are,
therefore, based on the collective experiences of many individuals over many thousands of years. The particular
manner in which the techniques are taught and practiced today depends on the approach passed down in the line
of teachers supporting the individual practitioner. In Eric’s presentation you will view vintage and current photos and
a slide show cataloging and setting up a time line with it’s leading teachers at the forefront of this system of yoga.
Join us as we take a fascinating swan dive into this time of arrival, it’s origins, significant and different styles that
have emerged in the yoga world and the establishment of yoga into the mainstream of America.
