There are many stories, but little reliable information about the beginnings of Yoga in our country. This book offers an innovative and detailed account of the formative phase of Yoga in Brazil (up to 1970), distinct from any previous publication. Based on in-depth research of newspapers, magazines, and other contemporary documents, this work presents a revised version of the history of Yoga in Brazil. A critical approach is employed to examine the most well-known figures, challenge legends, and correct numerous errors. Perfect people or saints did not make the history of Yoga in Brazil, and the old teachers should not be idealized. This book presents a wealth of previously unknown facts, as well as new figures who have not been recognized, but who contributed significantly to the introduction of Yoga in our country. In addition to better-known figures such as Sevānanda Swami, Hermógenes, and Caio Miranda (about whom it presents a new vision), it addresses the contributions of Miguel Karl, Padmānanda, Emma Varga, Elza Longoni, Swami Satchidananda, Jean-Pierre Bastiou, Shotaro Shimada, Swami Sarvānanda, Swami Vayuānanda, Glycia Modesta de Arroxelas Galvão, Victor Binot, Maria Helena de Bastos Freire, Maria José Marinho, Luiz Sérgio Alvarez De Rose, Rogério Pfaltzgraff, Myriam Both, Huberto Rohden, and José Ramón Molinero, among others.
