Where Jung Was Wrong About Yoga

Where Jung Was Wrong About Yoga

Jung spent decades studying yoga. He called it one of the greatest achievements of the human mind. He also concluded that Westerners should not practice it.

On four specific counts, he was wrong.

This essay examines where his critique holds up and where it breaks down. His misreading of samadhi as unconscious regression. The Eurocentrism he dressed as psychology. The asymmetry between how he treated his own method and how he treated yoga. And the fact that by the time he issued his warnings, the tradition had already been transformed into something else entirely.

The audio version of the full essay published on Substack.
