“To speak of ‘yoga philosophy’ is to miss the point: Yoga is a practical discipline aimed at attaining liberation. If duly practiced, it will work, irrespective of the practitioner’s beliefs.”

“Everything said, is said by someone.”
– Humberto Maturana & Francesco Varela, The tree of knowledge: Biological roots of human understanding (1987) New Science Library/Shambhala Publications
While the dependency of the spoken on the speaker might seem too obvious to require an explicit statement, it points to the profound insight that there are no facts that are context-free. Everything said, is said, by someone, within a specific context. social background, with a specific personal history and upbringing – resulting distinct motivations and interests. Who’s talking are these people – the yoga teachers, the scholar-practitioners, the philologists, historians, ethnographers – and why do they do what they do? What got them into their topics? What keeps them going? Who’s talking? Positionality.
