This is the third conversation in my series with Prashant Iyengar exploring the history of yoga.
In our previous two episodes, Prashant G encouraged us to understand our own history before turning to the history of the yoga tradition itself.
Prashanti explains that the relationship between the classical texts and the living teacher reminded us that while the texts illuminate the path, the guru must customize the teaching according to the individual student, the time, and the circumstances.
