The Body As Math: Alignment+Body=20th Century

Picture

Yoga World is back! After a two year (!) hiatus, we ‘re back with the concluding episodes of Season 3: All About Asana. 

In this episode, we discuss the nature of “alignment” throughout the last hundred years. Did older texts talk about alignment? When did it become important, and how did that change the way we practice yoga? Is alignment a good idea?

We cover early pioneers such as Krishnamacharya, Shivananda and Yogendra, as well as Iyengar and Jois, all the way into the modernity of Birch.

This episode is the first of two about alignment, covering the first three “buckets” of what it means.
