Chapter – The Origins of Yoga
“The Origins of Yoga” is written and narrated by Swami Hamsa Jnanananda Saraswati. In this episode, she discusses the reasons why anyone with an interest in yoga will benefit from understanding the ancient roots of this practice. Her website is https://www.tantricaashramtrust.org/. Swami Hamsa Jnanananda Saraswati is a genuine mystic yogini. Trained with a Himalayan tradition, in the mountains and forests of Lithuania, she is the humble custodian of a sacred feminine tradition that teaches women how to bring around illumination, regeneration and youth. With the detachment of a genuine acetic, she is able not only to bestow ancient knowledge but can also help guide others with the insight that comes from this unique vantage point. “Every moment with her is an opportunity for enlightenment.” Martin Faulks.
