VIDEO: Lesson 1 | Yoga Intro, History, and Philosophy

You will also learn the yoga lineage branches that have shaped and supported the birth of NaiAsana yoga.

1) One is a high res version of the lineage tree that I present in one of the slides, it's worthy of taking a look:

2) Another is a link to an article by Dr. Christopher Tompkins that I don't address specifically, but is profound in our exploration of the history of yoga:

3) The 3rd link is simply to wikepedia's definition and information on "Shaktism" - which again, while I didn't refer to this specifically, I believe you will appreciate the connections here
