2008 :HAF finds no reference to Hinduism in the YOGA Journal
Finds that it associated other religions with yoga more than it did Hinduism
2009: HAF launches a campaign called “Take Back Yoga-Bringing to
Light Yoga’s Hindu Roots”
The Politics of Yoga
The definition of yogaThe commercialization of yogaThe validity of yoga as exercise aloneDid yoga belonged to Hinduism or to
any one tradition?
“What we noticed . . . was that . .
.
while [Western yogis] are very
accepting of the fact that yoga is
rooted in ancient India, there was
a tension with calling it Hindu, or
even accepting the fact that it was
rooted in Hindu philosophy
In conclusion,
Hinduism and Yoga only form part of each other.
Yoga predates Hinduism.Yoga is not exclusively from
Hinduism.
