The History of Yoga

Philip Moss: What we've been talking about sounds very philosophically advanced, very nuanced also very tightly connected with a lot of historical developments in ancient India. I'm just wondering you know is the practice of yoga as we find it say in the United States nowadays or western Europe does this have anything to do with ancient yoga or an ancient text like the Patanjali's yoga Shasta. It has something to do and so far as it is the final result of long historical development so the history of yoga is the history of transformation.
