The panel aims to promote the correct knowledge of the essential elements of the ancient practice of yoga (referring in particular to Indian history, philosophy and spirituality) by showing the different facets of an experience that constantly attracts in the West new enthusiasts and people who consider it a way to live a more authentic and profound spirituality.

The panel will also discuss the most recent developments of the debate within the vast community of groups, associations and individual masters who, to some extent, represent it, and the way in which institutions deal with Yoga practitioners.
