YOGAFICATION OF THE NETHERLANDS

When I bought a book to start yoga at home in 1969, I was ridiculed by quite some people. Now, 45 years later, yoga is common practice in the Netherlands.

Yoga schools are found not only in the central, progressive cities, but also in distant corners of the country and places known for their conservatism. Even orthodox Christian fishermen villages have yoga schools.
