[INDOLOGY] question about a Jaina practice

[Philipp Maas]

Dear Herman,
Further textual references to the use of a yoga strap in yoga literature
can be found on p. 71 of my article "'Sthirasukham Āsanam': Posture and
Performance in Classical Yoga and Beyond", which you find published in
open-access here

.

Best wishes,

Philipp
