How did we come to link yoga, psychology and health? This course will explore the Indian roots of yoga in key texts (Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, The Upanishads, and The Bhagavad-Gita); the reception of yoga in Western psychology (Freud and Jung); and the mystical dimensions of yoga. The course will consider these three topics as they specifically relate to the concepts of language, memory, and meditation.
