Yoga in Sweden
The form of yoga practised in the Western world was influenced by Pehr Henrik Ling's system of gymnastics.[1] In 1946, the Austrian Walther Eidlitz (1892–1976), known as Vāmana Dāsa, moved to Sweden and taught Bhakti Yoga there for the rest of his life.[2] Yoga became more widely available in 1949 when the Indian yogi Shyam Sundar Goswami (1891–1978) visited the country for the Lingiaden [sv] gymnastic competition named for Ling.[2][4] In 1972, Swami Janakananda founded the Kriya Yoga centre Håå Kursgård in the southern province of Småland.[2] It claims to be Stockholm's oldest school of yoga as exercise, and uses Håå Kursgård as its retreat centre.
