As we have seen, new circuits of communication and exchange emerged after WW2. The post-war yoga communication circuit was no longer a high-culture elite-to-elite transfer but rather a global fusion of mass cultures. The economical exchange of yoga capital (knowledge) now increasingly took place in an anonymous market. In this period the yoga discourse grew significantly and transformed totally in form and meaning.
We traversed through seven different zones of nature as we scaled Yoga poses down dog up one of the many faces of this awesome mountain. On the second night, it Yoga poses down dog began to snow when we set up our camp. There’s a lot of time to think when you are summoned to your tent at five in the afternoon because the fire cannot sustain itself amidst the flurries.
Needless to say, I started to get to know myself pretty well. Late that same night, I was forced to crawl out of my small but warm abode, a two-person tent, in search of our makeshift john at the edge of camp. The sky had cleared and was ultra-bright, and for the first time I could see the tabletop peak of the mountain we were climbing. It was a strange but familiar sensation to feel a part of something so great that was not wholly visible to me. Up until that moment, all I could do was to try to imagine what beauty might lie ahead, when I was unexpectedly given this glimpse of what awaited us.
