The Healing Power of Yoga. The Holistic Teachings of Swami Satchidananda

Yoga is over 5000 years old, yet is relatively new to Americans. Almost 50 years ago, the philosophy and practices of asanas (Yoga postures) that originated in India were initially popularized in the United States. Swami Satchidananda was one of the first Yoga masters to bring the classical Yoga tradition to the West. He taught Yoga postures to Americans and introduced them to meditation and a vegetarian and more compassionate lifestyle.
