| dbo:abstract | Postural yoga began in India as a variant of traditional yoga, which was a mainly meditational practice; it has spread across the world and returned to the Indian subcontinent in different forms. The ancient Yoga Sutras of Patanjali mention yoga postures, asanas, only briefly, as meditation seats. Medieval Haṭha yoga made use of a small number of asanas alongside other techniques such as pranayama, shatkarmas, and mudras, but it was despised and almost extinct by the start of the 20th century. At that time, the revival of postural yoga was at first driven by Indian nationalism. Advocates such as Yogendra and Kuvalayananda made yoga acceptable in the 1920s, treating it as a medical subject. From the 1930s, the "father of modern yoga" Krishnamacharya developed a vigorous postural yoga, influenced by gymnastics, with transitions (vinyasas) that allowed one pose to flow into the next. Krishnamacharya's pupils K. Pattabhi Jois and B. K. S. Iyengar brought yoga to the West and developed it further, founding their own schools and training yoga teachers. Once in the West, yoga quickly became mixed with other activities, becoming less spiritual and more energetic as well as commercial. Westernized postural yoga returned to India to rejoin the many forms already in the country, transformed by the pizza effect on its round trip. Western yoga tourists, attracted initially by The Beatles' 1968 visit to India, came to study yoga in centres such as Rishikesh and Mysore. From 2015, India, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, held an annual International Day of Yoga, the armed forces and civil service being joined in mass demonstrations by members of the public. (en) Lo yoga posturale nasce in India come variante dello yoga tradizionale, una pratica prevalentemente meditativa; diffuso in tutto il mondo, è tornato nel subcontinente indiano in forme diverse. Gli antichi Yoga Sutra di Patanjali menzionano solo brevemente le posizioni yoga, le asana, come sedute di meditazione. L'Haṭha yoga medievale faceva uso di un piccolo numero di asana insieme ad altre tecniche come pranayama, e mudra, ma fu disprezzato e quasi estinto all'inizio del XX secolo. All'epoca, la nascita dello yoga posturale fu in principio guidata dal nazionalismo indiano. Sostenitori come Yogendra e resero lo yoga una pratica gradita negli anni '20, divenendo presto utilizzata in medicina. All'inizio degli anni '30, il "padre dello yoga moderno" Krishnamacharya sviluppò una forma di yoga posturale più intensa, influenzata dalla ginnastica, con transizioni (vinyasas) che permettevano di passare in maniera fluida da una posizione all'altra. Gli allievi di Krishnamacharya K. Pattabhi Jois e BKS Iyengar portarono lo yoga in Occidente, fondando le proprie scuole e formando nuovi insegnanti. Una volta in Occidente, lo yoga si è rapidamente mescolato ad altre attività, diventando meno spirituale e più energico oltre che commerciale. Lo yoga posturale occidentalizzato è tornato in India per ricongiungersi alle tante forme già presenti nel paese, trasformate dall'effetto pizza nel suo viaggio di andata e ritorno. I turisti occidentali dello yoga, attratti inizialmente dalla visita dei Beatles in India nel 1968, vennero a studiare yoga in centri come Rishikesh e Mysore. Nel 2015, il Primo Ministro indiano Narendra Modi istituì la Giornata Internazionale dello Yoga. In quell'occasione anche le forze armate e il servizio civile si unirono alle manifestazioni di massa del pubblico. (it) |
