An interview with Dr. Suzanne Newcombe, of the AyurYog Project and INFORM, about the institutionalisation of Yoga as medicine in modern India.

Dr Suzanne Newcombe, author of "Yoga in Britain", researches yoga and Indian medicine (Ayurveda) from a sociological and social-historical perspective.

We will discuss:

When did institutionalization begin in India, and what factors brought it about?

Is institutionalization responsible for the emphasis on therapy in the globalised forms of modern Yoga?
