The Society for Yoga and Philosophy seeks to provide a space for open, careful, and innovative philosophical reflection on yoga. We understand yoga as a complex and dynamic body of philosophies and practices originated in India, whose influence has expanded around the globe transforming millions of lives in a variety of ways. We believe that continuous philosophical engagement with the ideas and systems of thoughts found in yogic texts, oral, and embodied traditions—ancient and contemporary—can contribute not only to a better understanding of them but also, to the enrichment of philosophy as a whole.
