Modern Yoga is a phenomenon of considerable dimensions. Daily, yoga practices attract thousands of new practitioners and every day many millions performs one of its infinite variations. Although there is a general consensus on the fact that yoga can be traced back to the ancient past, many contemporary practices are ‘true inventions’ of our days.
