The western mind was challenged by new concepts and spiritual truths. To this day the Bhagavad Gita is widely distributed and read in the west. The Yoga Sutras were translated by one scholar after the next. The teachings of meditation, breathing exercises and yoga postures were brought to light. Practitioners of yoga postures opened their doors to travelers in India and taught them the techniques of hatha yoga.
Asana practice infiltrated the west. Thousands of yoga practitioners traveled to India to learn the ancient techniques and improve their yoga practice.
