HISTORY OF YOGA and MODERN YOGA PRACTICES

This module, part of the Advanced Teacher Training 300 programme, covers the origins of yoga, its rituals, the transformations it has undergone across the years and continents, and the impact and contributions of existing yoga types and practices.

The yoga teachings and practices that existed in their place and time, in line with the realities and needs of that era, have changed and diversified without losing their essence, in accordance with the needs and realities of the new areas they spread to, their purpose, form, and the communities they spread to, and have continued to exist to this day.

Due to its fundamental approach, its contribution to physical and cognitive development is significant and valuable, regardless of the type and purpose for which it is applied.

This module, which will progress by understanding change and the necessities of change, also constitutes a social analysis that encompasses changing human needs.
