DESCRIPTION:This paper provides a historical overview of postural yoga with
 in the Jain tradition. The Jain practice of yogic postures (āsana or sthāna
 ) is based on the conceptual framework of asceticism\, and almost all early
  records are grounded in ascetic practices. Drawing on canonical texts such
  as the Ācārāṅga-sūtra\, Sthānāṅga-sūtra\, Uttarādhyayana-sūtra\, and Aupap
 ātika-sūtra\, the presentation shows how postures were part of ascetic life
 \, supporting meditation\, contemplative practices (such as dhyānāsana)\, r
 itual observance\, and penance (tapas). It concludes by tracing the modern 
 evolution of postural yoga and the adaptation and introduction of new postu
 res into Jain yogic traditions with a focus of health and wellbeing.\n\nA d
 ance performance will take place after the lecture\, followed by an Indian 
 vegan dinner. The event is free and open to the public.
