How did Indra Devi turn the sari into a wellness guru lewk? What bold statement were the TV designers making when they dressed Richard Hittleman and his yoga models back in the 1960s? Did Lululemon founder Chip Wilson invent the category of “yoga pants” so that yoga instructors could correctly assess posture, or so that creeps could create NSFW subreddits, or so that the culture war would have yet another reason to police the bodies of girls and women?

Nelumbo nucifera, or the sacred lotus, is a plant that grows in flood plains, rivers, and deltas. Their seeds can remain dormant for years and when floods come along, blossom into a colony of plants and flowers. Some of the oldest seeds can be found in China, where they're known to represent longevity. No surprise, given their level of nitrition and connection to the waters that irrigated crops by then. They also grow in far away lands, all the way to India and out to Australia. The flower is sacred in Hinduism and Buddhism, and further back in ancient Egypt. Padmasana is a Sanskrit term meaning lotus, or Padma, and Asana, or posture. The Pashupati seal from the Indus Valley civilization shows a diety in what's widely considered the first documented yoga pose, from around 2,500 BCE. 2,700 years later (give or take a century), the Hindu author and mystic Patanjali wrote a work referred to as the Yoga Sutras. Here he outlined the original asanas, or sitting yoga poses. The Rig Veda, from around 1,500 BCE, is the oldest currently known Vedic text. It is also the first to use the word “yoga”. It describes songs, rituals, and mantras the Brahmans of the day used - as well as the Padma. Further Vedic texts explore how the lotus grew out of Lord Vishnu with Brahma in the center. He created the Universe out of lotus petals. Lakshmi went on to grow out of a lotus from Vishnu as well. It was only natural that humans would attempt to align their own meditation practices with the beautiful meditatios of the lotus. By the 300s, art and coins showed people in the lotus position. It was described in texts that survive from the 8th century. Over the centuries contradictions in texts were clarified in a period known as Classical Yoga, then Tantra and and Hatha Yoga were developed and codified in the Post-Classical Yoga age, and as empires grew and India became a part of the British empire, Yoga began to travel to the west in the late 1800s. By 1893, Swami Vivekananda gave lectures at the Parliament of Religions in Chicago.  More practicioners meant more systems of yoga. Yogendra brought asanas to the United States in 1919, as more Indians migrated to the United States. Babaji's kriya yoga arrived in Boston in 1920. Then, as we've discussed in previous episodes, the United States tightened immigration in the 1920s and people had to go to India to get more training. Theos Bernard's Hatha Yoga: The Report of a Personal Experience brought some of that knowledge home when he came back in 1947. Indra Devi opened a yoga studio in Hollywood and wrote books for housewives. She brought a whole system, or branch home. Walt and Magana Baptiste opened a studio in San Francisco. Swamis began to come to the US and more schools were opened. Richard Hittleman began to teach yoga in New York and began to teach on television in 1961. He was one of the first to seperate the religious aspect from the health benefits. By 1965, the immigration quotas were removed and a wave of teachers came to the US to teach yoga. The Beatles went to India in 1966 and 1968, and for many Transcendental Meditation took root, which has now grown to over a thousand training centers and over 40,000 teachers. Swamis opened meditation centers, institutes, started magazines, and even magazines. Yoga became so big that Rupert Holmes even poked fun of it in his song “Escape (The Piña Colada Song)” in 1979. Yoga had become part of the counter-culture, and the generation that followed represented a backlash of sorts. A common theme of the rise of personal computers is that the early pioneers were a part of that counter-culture. Mitch Kapor graduated high school in 1967, just in time to be one of the best examples of that. Kapor built his own calculator in as a kid before going to camp to get his first exposure to programming on a Bendix. His high school got one of the 1620 IBM minicomputers and he got the bug. He went off to Yale at 16 and learned to program in APL and then found Computer Lib by Ted Nelson and learned BASIC. Then he discovered the Apple II.  Kapor did some programming for $5 per hour as a consultant, started the first east coast Apple User Group, and did some work around town. There are generations of people who did and do this kind of consulting, although now the rates are far higher. He met a grad student through the user group named Eric Rosenfeld who was working on his dissertation and needed some help programming, so Kapor wrote a little tool that took the idea of statistical analysis from the Time Shared Reactive Online Library, or TROLL, and ported it to the microcomputer, which he called Tiny Troll.  Then he enrolled in the MBA program at MIT. He got a chance to see VisiCalc and meet Bob Frankston and Dan Bricklin, who introduced him to the team at Personal Software. Personal Software was founded by Dan Fylstra and Peter Jennings when they published Microchips for the KIM-1 computer. That led to ports for the 1977 Trinity of the Commodore PET, Apple II, and TRS-80 and by then they had taken Bricklin and Franston's VisiCalc to market. VisiCalc was the killer app for those early PCs and helped make the Apple II successful. Personal Software brought Kapor on, as well as Bill Coleman of BEA Systems and Electronic Arts cofounder Rich Mellon. Today, software developers get around 70 percent royalties to publish software on app stores but at the time, fees were closer to 8 percent, a model pulled from book royalties. Much of the rest went to production of the box and disks, the sales and marketing, and support. Kapor was to write a product that could work with VisiCalc. By then Rosenfeld was off to the world of corporate finance so Kapor moved to Silicon Valley, learned how to run a startup, moved back east in 1979, and released VisiPlot and VisiTrend in 1981. He made over half a million dollars in the first six months in royalties.  By then, he bought out Rosenfeld's shares in what he was doing, hired Jonathan Sachs, who had been at MIT earlier, where he wrote the STOIC programming language, and then went to work at Data General. Sachs worked on spreadsheet ideas at Data General with a manager there, John Henderson, but after they left Data General, and the partnership fell apart, he worked with Kapor instead. They knew that for software to be fast, it needed to be written in a lower level language, so they picked the Intel 8088 assembly language given that C wasn't fast enough yet. The IBM PC came in 1981 and everything changed. Mitch Kapor and Jonathan Sachs started Lotus in 1982. Sachs got to work on what would become Lotus 1-2-3. Kapor turned out to be a great marketer and product manager. He listened to what customers said in focus groups. He pushed to make things simpler and use less jargon. They released a new spreadsheet tool in 1983 and it worked flawlessly on the IBM PC and while Microsoft had Multiplan and VisCalc was the incumbent spreadsheet program, Lotus quickly took market share from then and SuperCalc. Conceptually it looked similar to VisiCalc. They used the letter A for the first column, B for the second, etc. That has now become a standard in spreadsheets. They used the number 1 for the first row, the number 2 for the second. That too is now a standard. They added a split screen, also now a standard. They added macros, with branching if-then logic. They added different video modes, which could give color and bitmapping. They added an underlined letter so users could pull up a menu and quickly select the item they wanted once they had those orders memorized, now a standard in most menuing systems. They added the ability to add bar charts, pie charts, and line charts. One could even spread their sheet across multiple monitors like in a magazine. They refined how fields are calculated and took advantage of the larger amounts of memory to make Lotus far faster than anything else on the market. They went to Comdex towards the end of the year and introduced Lotus 1-2-3 to the world. The software could be used as a spreadsheet, but the 2 and 3 referred to graphics and database management. They did $900,000 in orders there before they went home. They couldn't even keep up with the duplication of disks. Comdex was still invitation only. It became so popular that it was used to test for IBM compatibility by clone makers and where VisiCalc became the app that helped propel the Apple II to success, Lotus 1-2-3 became the app that helped propel the IBM PC to success. Lotus was rewarded with $53 million in sales for 1983 and $156 million in 1984. Mitch Kapor found himself. They quickly scaled from less than 20 to 750 employees. They brought in Freada Klein who got her PhD to be the Head of Employee Relations and charged her with making them the most progressive employer around. After her success at Lotus, she left to start her own company and later married. Sachs left the company in 1985 and moved on to focus solely on graphics software. He still responds to requests on the phpBB forum at dl-c.com. They ran TV commercials. They released a suite of Mac apps they called Lotus Jazz. More television commercials. Jazz didn't go anywhere and only sold 20,000 copies. Meanwhile, Microsoft released Excel for the Mac, which sold ten times as many. Some blamed the lack os sales on the stringent copy protection. Others blamed the lack of memory to do cool stuff. Others blamed the high price. It was the first major setback for the young company.  After a meteoric rise, Kapor left the company in 1986, at about the height of their success. He  replaced himself with Jim Manzi. Manzi pushed the company into network applications. These would become the center of the market but were just catching on and didn't prove to be a profitable venture just yet. A defensive posture rather than expanding into an adjacent market would have made sense, at least if anyone knew how aggressive Microsoft was about to get it would have.  Manzi was far more concerned about the millions of illegal copies of the software in the market than innovation though. As we turned the page to the 1990s, Lotus had moved to a product built in C and introduced the ability to use graphical components in the software but not wouldn't be ported to the new Windows operating system until 1991 for Windows 3. By then there were plenty of competitors, including Quattro Pro and while Microsoft Excel began on the Mac, it had been a showcase of cool new features a windowing operating system could provide an application since released for Windows in 1987. Especially what they called 3d charts and tabbed spreadsheets. There was no catching up to Microsoft by then and sales steadily declined. By then, Lotus released Lotus Agenda, an information manager that could be used for time management, project management, and as a database. Kapor was a great product manager so it stands to reason he would build a great product to manage products. Agenda never found commercial success though, so was later open sourced under a GPL license. Bill Gross wrote Magellan there before he left to found GoTo.com, which was renamed to Overture and pioneered the idea of paid search advertising, which was acquired by Yahoo!. Magellan cataloged the internal drive and so became a search engine for that. It sold half a million copies and should have been profitable but was cancelled in 1990. They also released a word processor called Manuscript in 1986, which never gained traction and that was cancelled in 1989, just when a suite of office automation apps needed to be more cohesive.  Ray Ozzie had been hired at Software Arts to work on VisiCalc and then helped Lotus get Symphony out the door. Symphony shipped in 1984 and expanded from a spreadsheet to add on text with the DOC word processor, and charts with the GRAPH graphics program, FORM for a table management solution, and COM for communications. Ozzie dutifully shipped what he was hired to work on but had a deal that he could build a company when they were done that would design software that Lotus would then sell. A match made in heaven as Ozzie worked on PLATO and borrowed the ideas of PLATO Notes, a collaboration tool developed at the University of Illinois Champagne-Urbana  to build what he called Lotus Notes.  PLATO was more more than productivity. It was a community that spanned decades and Control Data Corporation had failed to take it to the mass corporate market. Ozzie took the best parts for a company and built it in isolation from the rest of Lotus. They finally released it as Lotus Notes in 1989. It was a huge success and Lotus bought Iris in 1994. Yet they never found commercial success with other socket-based client server programs and IBM acquired Lotus in 1995. That product is now known as Domino, the name of the Notes 4 server, released in 1996. Ozzie went on to build a company called Groove Networks, which was acquired by Microsoft, who appointed him one of their Chief Technology Officers. When Bill Gates left Microsoft, Ozzie took the position of Chief Software Architect he vacated. He and Dave Cutler went on to work on a project called Red Dog, which evolved into what we now know as Microsoft Azure.  Few would have guessed that Ozzie and Kapor's handshake agreement on Notes could have become a real product. Not only could people not understand the concept of collaboration and productivity on a network in the late 1980s but the type of deal hadn't been done. But Kapor by then realized that larger companies had a hard time shipping net-new software properly. Sometimes those projects are best done in isolation. And all the better if the parties involved are financially motivated with shares like Kapor wanted in Personal Software in the 1970s before he wrote Lotus 1-2-3. VisiCalc had sold about a million copies but that would cease production the same year Excel was released. Lotus hung on longer than most who competed with Microsoft on any beachhead they blitzkrieged. Microsoft released Exchange Server in 1996 and Notes had a few good years before Exchange moved in to become the standard in that market. Excel began on the Mac but took the market from Lotus eventually, after Charles Simonyi stepped in to help make the product great.  Along the way, the Lotus ecosystem created other companies, just as they were born in the Visi ecosystem. Symantec became what we now call a “portfolio” company in 1985 when they introduced NoteIt, a natural language processing tool used to annotate docs in Lotus 1-2-3. But Bill Gates mentioned Lotus by name multiple times as a competitor in his Internet Tidal Wave memo in 1995. He mentioned specific features, like how they could do secure internet browsing and that they had a web publisher tool - Microsoft's own FrontPage was released in 1995 as well. He mentioned an internet directory project with Novell and AT&T. Active Directory was released a few years later in 1999, after Jim Allchin had come in to help shepherd LAN Manager. Notes itself survived into the modern era, but by 2004 Blackberry released their Exchange connector before they released the Lotus Domino connector. That's never a good sign. Some of the history of Lotus is covered in Scott Rosenberg's 2008 book, Dreaming in Code. Others are documented here and there in other places. Still others are lost to time. Kapor went on to invest in UUNET, which became a huge early internet service provider. He invested in Real Networks, who launched the first streaming media service on the Internet. He invested in the creators of Second Life. He never seemed vindictive with Microsoft but after AOL acquired Netscape and Microsoft won the first browser war, he became the founding chair of the Mozilla Foundation and so helped bring Firefox to market. By 2006, Firefox took 10 percent of the market and went on to be a dominant force in browsers. Kapor has also sat on boards and acted as an angel investor for startups ever since leaving the company he founded. He also flew to Wyoming in 1990 after he read a post on The WELL from John Perry Barlow. Barlow was one of the great thinkers of the early Internet. They worked with Sun Microsystems and GNU Debugging Cypherpunk John Gilmore to found the Electronic Frontier Foundation, or EFF. The EFF has since been the nonprofit who leads the fight for “digital privacy, free speech, and innovation.” So not everything is about business.

She's practised (mostly) Ashtanga Yoga for 25+ years. She is the author of The Subtle Body, The Story of Yoga in America Yoga's history in America is longer and richer than even its most devoted practitioners realize. It was present in Emerson's New England, and by the turn of the twentieth century, it was fashionable among the leisure class. And yet when Americans first learned about yoga, what they learned was that it was a dangerous, alien practice that would corrupt body and soul. A century later, you can find yoga in gyms, malls, and even hospitals, and the arrival of a yoga studio in a neighbourhood is a signal of cosmopolitanism. How did it happen? It did so, Stefanie Syman explains, through a succession of charismatic yoga teachers, who risked charges of charlatanism as they promoted yoga in America, and through generations of yoga students, who were deemed unbalanced or even insane for their efforts. "The Subtle Body," tells the stories of these people, including Henry David Thoreau, Pierre A. Bernard, Margaret Woodrow Wilson, Christopher Isherwood, Sally Kempton, and Indra Devi. From New England, the book moves to New York City and its new suburbs between the wars, to colonial India, to postwar Los Angeles, to Haight-Ashbury in its heyday, and back to New York City post-9/11. In vivid chapters, it takes in celebrities from Gloria Swanson and George Harrison to Christy Turlington and Madonna. And it offers a fresh view of American society, showing how a seemingly arcane and foreign practice is as deeply rooted here as baseball or ballet. This epic account of yoga's rise is absorbing and often inspiring - a major contribution to our understanding of our society.

La traducción literal del Yoga es ¨Unión¨. Es una diciplina y filosofía de vida que busca la unión de cuerpo, mente y espíritu. Enfatiza la meditación y la liberación. Se dice que puede tener hasta 5000 de antigüedad. Aunque a occidente recién llego en el siglo XX.Indra Devi fue una de las primeras y más grandes difusoras del Yoga en el mundo. Fundo la primera escuela de Yoga en China y Taiwán. También estableció escuelas en EE.UU, México y Argentina, donde creo su fundación junto a David y Iana Lifar, los invitados al podcast de hoy.Indra Devi International Yoga Schoolhttps://www.indradevi-international.net.ar/#bodyYoga para Todos - Indra Devihttps://www.buscalibre.cl/libro-yoga-para-todos-indra-devi-vergara/9789501561654/p/47492878?bmkt_source=google&bmkt_campaign=875159024&gclid=Cj0KCQjwtsCgBhDEARIsAE7RYh2l6BWVYJAeS21cL1Kg9xVgwVV32-tPCDvFciF6JnYEW_3qBozomroaAsKBEALw_wcBPatreon https://www.patreon.com/permaculturapodcast

Welcome to Episode #34 of the Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast! This week, I welcome Carlos Romero onto the show. He is a yoga teacher from Venezuela and the founder of Livin' Inspired. He has been immersed in the journey of self-exploration over the last 20 years, and is the founder of Livin' Inspired. Carlos is the kind of a yoga teacher who artfully curates every moment of the mind-body-spirit journey, leaving just enough space for silence. He has taught yoga all over the world, and has been based in Bali for the last 12 years. He's been teaching at Yoga Barn for many years. My conversation with Carlos Romero, a yoga teacher from Venezuela was so illuminative as we took a deep dive into the synchronicity and transformation that has occurred on Carlos' path of yoga. Carlos defined yoga as intimacy— as moving closer to ourselves and experiencing union and connection with own lungs, our own hearts, our own selves. I hope that this conversation made you want to turn a little closer towards yourself. If you're looking to tune into a podcast episode that is all about magnificent rituals and raising consciousness through collective movement then this is the conversation for you. What to expect in the Yoga In Venezuela episode of the Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast At 16 years old, Carlos Romero took Indra Devi's book on yoga and did self-practice and self-study in the mountains in Caracas. At university he studied pharmaceutical science, though he felt an intense duality— that his heart was calling for a path of yoga, but given his age, his parents were strongly pushing him towards a university education in Venezuela. Then he started doing donation yoga classes with his fellow classmates at University. After he graduated and began working in a pharmacy, he was still teaching yoga classes after work and he felt a bit like “superman,” with taking off his lab coat and donning his yoga pants and flip-flops. He soon realized his real path was the path of yoga, that was what he was meant to do and how he was meant to serve. When an opportunity came up to move to Costa Rica and teach yoga, and then later in Bali— where he has been living for Bali for the last 12 years teaching yoga and building his yoga company, Livin' Inspired. Carlos is a well of knowledge about the many branches of holistic healing. His desire to help raising consciousness through collective movement, and to help people create a vibrant and authentic lifestyle is at the center of all his actions and endeavors. Curious? Tune into the Yoga in Venezuela episode to learn more and bask in Carlos' wisdom. For the skimmers - What's in the yoga in Venezuela episode? Yoga is Intimacy— cultivating a relationship with yourself The importance of developing and honoring rituals Rituals help us come back to our true nature, and help us make decisions by tapping into our inner guidance Raising consciousness through collective movement How to create a vibrant and authentic lifestyle All about Venezuela and yoga in Venezuela Connect with Carlos Romero https://livininspired.com https://youtube.com/channel/UCF-92Z-PBRvtQjEyXBsUnCg https://www.instagram.com/livininspired/ Everything you need is just one click away!

Indra Devi (1899-2002) was known as the “first lady of yoga." While she recognized yoga as a deeply spiritual discipline, she also knew how to use her high profile connections to popularize the practice and bring it into the mainstream.History classes can get a bad wrap, and sometimes for good reason. When we were students, we couldn't help wondering... where were all the ladies at? Why were so many incredible stories missing from the typical curriculum? Enter, Womanica. On this Wonder Media Network podcast we explore the lives of inspiring women in history you may not know about, but definitely should.Every weekday, listeners explore the trials, tragedies, and triumphs of groundbreaking women throughout history who have dramatically shaped the world around us.

Saison 1 - Episode 4 Histoire du yoga (3/3) : de l'Inde à l'Occident, de 1900 à aujourd'hui avec Marie Kock Le yoga s'est mondialisé au cours du 20ème siècle. Plusieurs maîtres ont cherché à l'adapter à l'Occident pour réussir cette exportation dans un autre contexte social et culturel. Une mission brillamment accomplie par ces yogis visionnaires qui ont accordé une grande place aux exercices posturaux.  Le yoga majoritairement transmis dans le monde en 2021 est un descendant direct de ce yoga moderne, pensé et construit pour les Etats-Unis et l'Europe. Qui sont les yogis qui ont adapté et exporté le yoga dans le monde entier ? Pourquoi et comment ont-ils opéré pour séduire l'Occident ? Comment ont-ils redéfini cet enseignement ?  Quel rôle ont joué les stars d'Hollywood, les Beatles, les LSD dans l'histoire moderne du yoga ?  Le yoga a-t-il perdu son essence dans cette nouvelle mutation majeure ? Le yoga postural, largement dominant aujourd'hui, serait-il un simple produit de la globalisation ? Quelle est l'influence de la culture fitness des Etats-Unis sur le yoga pratiqué en Europe au 21 ème siècle ? Comment la période post mai 68 a favorisé son essor en France ? Avec Marie Kock, nous poursuivrons notre enquête pour comprendre la trajectoire du yoga de 1900 à aujourd'hui.  Intervenants : Marie Kock, journaliste, professeur de yoga, auteure de livre "Yoga, une histoire monde : de Bikram aux Beatles, du LSD à la quête de soi : le récit d'une conquête"  Retrouvez-nous sur www.casayana.fr  !  Pour nous contacter : casayogagrenoble@gmail.com Si vous avez apprécié l'épisode, n'hésitez pas à nous laisser un commentaire sur votre plateforme d'écoute

El padre del Yoga Moderno. En esta entrevista que me hace Coty a mí - Gonzalo Rico Peña. Te comparto la historia que aprendí y me contaron la familia y alumnos directos de Tirumalai Krishnamacharya quienes hoy día también son grandes maestros. Te compartiré anécdotas de su vida y obra. Te contaré por que es considerado el padre del yoga moderno, por que tantos grandes maestros se han iniciado/aprendido con él y han diseminado por todo el mundo sus enseñanzas. Por que hay tantos estilos distintos de Yoga que provienen de él?

"The Goddess Pose" to biografia mistrzyni jogi Indry Devi. Autorka, Michelle Goldberg, włożyła wiele pracy w odszukanie wszystkich wątków życiowych swojej bohaterki. I pozostaje wobec niej obiektywna, co jest niewątpliwie zaletą tej książki.Indra Devi słynie jako jedna z tych osób, które sprowadziły jogę na Zachód. Przyjechała do USA z Indii w roku 1947 i założyła studio jogi w Los Angeles. Uczyła gwiazdy Hollywoodu, co na pewno przydało jej splendoru. Pisała książki, prowadziła wykłady, zajęcia jogi, była doradczynią duchową. Dużo podróżowała. Przyjaźniła się z największymi, z Rabindranath Tagore, Mahatmą Gandhim, Jawarhalalem Nerhu.Możemy pozazdrościć jej niezłomności charakteru, pewności swoich działań, determinacji. Bez tego nie osiągnęłaby tak wiele.Była niezwykłą osobowością, która niewątpliwie zasługuje na biografię. O co pokusiła się Michelle Goldberg, dziennikarka i pisarka z Nowego Jorku. Książka "The Goddess Pose" opowiada wnikliwie o życiu Indry od dzieciństwa do śmierci. A Indra zmarła w wieku 103 lat.

Yoga teaching was dominated by men until Russian-born, Indra Devi, came to Los Angeles in 1947 and quietly changed the direction of modern yoga forever. Devi was not only the first woman to break through the gender barrier, she was also the first western woman to study and teach in India with Krishnamacharya, a modern master whose students spread yoga throughout the world. On this week's Yoga Talk Show, writer and researcher, Michelle Goldberg, shares highlights from her newest book all about the exceptional life of Indra Devi who is affectionately referred to as the grandmother of modern yoga.  Michelle Goldberg is an author and senior contributing writer for The Nation and her work has appeared in Salon.com, The New Yorker, The New York Times Book Review, Glamour, Rolling Stone,  New York, The Guardian (UK) and The New Republic.  Her books include: Kingdom Coming: The Rise of Christian Nationalism, The Means of Reproduction: Sex, Power and the Future of the World, and her newest title, The Goddess Pose: The Audacious Life of Indra Devi, the Woman Who Helped Bring Yoga to the West   In this Show, You'll learn: How a Russian-born woman became a leading voice for yoga in the West during a time when Indian men were considered the authorities on yoga The peculiar India-Los Angeles connection in most modern yoga What it meant to be a yoga teacher over 50 years ago Why modern yoga is much “younger” than most people believe   Links & References from the Show: www.MichelleGoldberg.net     Got questions?
