Yoga was believed to have been first introduced to America in the 1800s. In 1893, Swami Vivekananda, a key figure in the introduction of the Indian philosophies of Vedanta and Yoga to the US, made a presentation in Chicago at the World Parliament of Religions about the concept of body, spirit, and mind. Yoga was established on the West Coast in the mid-'50s with Walt and Magana Baptiste's San Francisco studio. Walt's father had been influenced by Vivekananda, and Walt and Magana were students of Yogananda.
