The Goddess Pose
/The Goddess Pose explores "the audacious life of Indra Devi, the woman who helped bring yoga to the West". It's a great read in general, because the story itself is so fascinating, even for the non-yogi, but it also gives a good account of how our modern yoga has evolved into what it is today. Many practitioners believe that the way they practice yoga has some link to an ancient lineage, when in fact, the majority of the poses we do in a typical yoga class are far removed from the physical yoga of old.
