Kemetic Yoga with Tamika Jones- The History and the Practice
Yoga instructor Taminka Jones introduces you to the history and practice Kemetic Yoga.
Kemetic Yoga emerges from the one of the oldest known civilizations which is ancient Egypt, properly called Kemet, in Northeastern Africa and rivals the evolution of Yoga in India. Kemetic Yoga was developed by studying, translating and interpreting the commonly called hieroglyphic texts of Kemet (ancient Egypt) and the images of Yogic postures that are clearly pictured on the walls of the Kemetic temples.
Kemetic Yoga is both a philosophy and a practice based upon the Kemetic systems of self-development that fueled the creation of the Kemetic civilization that spawned western science, philosophy and religion.
