So can Yoga and modern day Christianity be reconciled? This is one of those books that as a teacher of yoga you really feel like you “should” read. Incorporating prayer and readings from the Bible, Brock urged his class of about 20 students to find strength in their connection to their creator through yoga's deep, controlled breathing. His seminal book, 'Light on Yoga', is widely called 'the bible of yoga' and has served as the source book for generations of yoga students around the world. I gulped rather loudly as it suddenly dawned on me why Light on Yoga is subtitled “The Bible of Modern Yoga”. Yet, everyone wants their The vast majority of modern *yoga* postures were imported into India from EUROPEAN gymnasiums in the early 1900s to help get Indian men more strengthened up. "It allows us to blur the line Some cool-school varieties of modern yoga are, I gather, no more than gym workouts with a sprinkling of exoticism.

However, my response is really more to do with the mysticism in the bible that orthodox Christians do not understand. As one yoga history puts it, Thoreau's A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers “stacks quotes from the Bhagavad-Gita, like cordwood, and recommends it as highly as the Bible.” Modern posture-based yoga, however, emerged Iyengar was a much admired yoga teacher in India in the 1940s, but he became the exemplar of modern yoga for the West when he published Light on Yoga in 1966. I listen to lots of different kinds of music…some tunes are just modern main-stream hits, some are classics, and some are intentional faith-based worship songs. Iyengar has translated each one, providing an insightful commentary and explanation for modern readers, as well as linking the various themes throughout the sutras to one another.
