About this document
Origins of Yoga and Shamanism Links by Christopher Wallis is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses the origins of yoga, tracing potential influences from ancient shamanism and the Indus Valley Civilization. Shamanism may have influenced elements of yoga like initiation rituals, trance states, and magical powers. Symbols like the axis mundi are also found in both traditions. Seals from the Indus Valley depict a figure in a yoga pose that may represent an early form of Shiva.
