Tracing the History and Impact of Yoga with Eric Shaw

Yoga teacher and teacher trainer Eric Shaw joins us to discuss his exhaustively researched book, Sacred Thread, A Comprehensive Yoga Timeline: 2000 Dates That Shaped Yoga History. The subject, and our conversation, goes well beyond just the developments in what's known as "postural yoga." It includes the entire range and depth of yogic precepts and practices and their spread from India to the rest of the world. We also touched upon the impact yoga has had on other traditions and the importance of protecting the system from distortion and dilution. We also discussed some controversies that Eric was involved in.
