Stefan Weidner (Germany)
Weltmacht Yoga
Stefan Weidner’s lecture on yoga emphasizes that yoga is more than just exercises on the mat. The first yoga sutras are 2500 years old and taught how to turn towards God. Later, yoga also inspired Muslims, Christians and Jews to have a mystical experience of God. In the fight against colonial rule, yoga shook the European sense of superiority. Stefan Weidner reports on yoga as a historical force that overcomes all boundaries. His book “Yoga or the Gentle Conquest of the West by the East” will be published in September.
