Yoga and Civilisation of the Indus Valley
According to certain yoga experts — Werner, McEvilley, and Eliade — the centre image of the
(so-called) Pashupati seal represents an asana position.
Thus, yoga's origins may be traced back to IVC.
However, recent scholars — Geoffrey Samuel, Andrea R. Jain, Wendy Doniger, and others —
have dismissed this yogic identification as anachronistic unsubstantiated speculation; they argue
that the meaning of the figure will remain unknown until the Harappan script is deciphered and
that Yoga's roots cannot be traced back to IVC.
