Come learn about women's powerful imprint on modern yoga in this special Inspiration Series event. Yoga has evolved from an obscure, ancient spiritual practice for Indian men of a particular social niche to a popular worldwide activity in which the majority of practitioners and teachers are now women. Hear the little explored history of the fundamental role iconic Western women played in launching and directing the course of yoga's global evolution.
From the Victorian Era forward, women became the primary agents to spread yogic philosophy and practice. Each of the women profiled in this talk is uniquely important as a creator of charismatic and paradigm challenging innovations that have collectively informed and expanded the practice of yoga from a solitary, self-reflective practice for the betterment of self into a community-oriented practice that seeks transformation not only for individuals but for communities and society at large.
.Anne O’Brien teaches the history, practice and philosophy of yoga. Blending 20 years of practice in the Krishnamacharya lineage with years of scholarly study of yoga history, she is deeply committed to transmitting the classical traditions and health benefits of yoga as a vehicle to expand consciousness and optimize physical, mental and spiritual well-being. She has been featured in Yoga Journal, Yogi Times, Organic Spa, Sonoma Sun, and other publications. She is writing a book, Modern Yoginis, documenting the essential contributions of women to the practice of yoga. Learn more at anneobrienyoga.com
