If the Bernards are the spiritual ancestors of modern day find-your-inner-child marshmallow yoga, at least we can say for the Bernards both Pierre and Theos that they were well versed in Vendanta.

Jumping from one individual to a I stayed up very late last night to finish this book and although I do regret being tired today I do not regret not having to pick this book up again. For its many practitioners, yoga fuses body, mind, spirit, energy, and attitude into an alembic of well-being harmonizing self and non-self, struggle and peace. This epic account of yoga's rise is absorbing and often inspiring—a major contribution to our understanding of our society. But they also needed an Indian, with the credibility his ethnicity conferred, to deliver their non-religious yoga to them. Bernard earned a Ph.

I often felt that the author threw out a tidbit of interesting information without providing any detail at all, and then surrounded it by a bunch of less compelling facts. A century later, you can find yoga in gyms, malls, and even hospitals, and the arrival of a yoga studio in a neighborhood is a signal of cosmopolitanism. Now regarding content, I am disappointed in what I feel to be omissions in the history of Yoga in the U. But this was not mentioned at all. One reason for its wide appeal, Syman -- who also reveal the shortcomings of many yoga teachers -- mused, is because 'yoga is so massive and complicated It is so contradictory and baroque that American society has been able to assimilate any number of versions of it, more or less simultaneously. Kripalu has the further distinction of reorganizing and actually strengthening its mission after the founder was charged with improprieties. Leading thinkers from the counterculture, including Timothy Leary, Alan Watts, and Richard Alpert later Ram Dass were engaged in deep discussions and a wide range of experimentation that included meditation, physical asana practice and psychedelic drugs. The Subtle Body : The Story of Yoga in America Writer She's able to look at yoga and its practitioners fairly objectively, I feel--you usually find her looking at both sides of a person's actions, but never cutting them much slack. It did so, Stefanie Syman explains, through a succession of charismatic yoga teachers, who risked charges of charlatanism as they promoted yoga in America, and through generations of yoga students, who were deemed unbalanced or even insane for their efforts. About the author. The first edition cover portrays a woman in Chakrasana , wheel pose. Stefanie Syman, a literature graduate of Yale, was a founder of Feed, an early, award-winning Web magazine. From there, she presents the showman Pierre Bernard and his relative Theos Bernard , including sections detailing Pierre confusing yoga with tantric sex , complete with "lust, mummery, and black magic", [SB 4] and of Theos telling a carefully fictionalised account of his experiences with Hatha Yoga in India and Tibet. By manipulating the physical body, you manipulate the subtle body. It is going on the free book table at the senior center where all my "Oprah books" go.

Those who want to know the history of how yoga came to America, and especially the religious culture that allowed it to grow, will enjoy the book. Interesting anecdotes, yes, but, ultimately -- and I know this might be heresey -- perhaps yoga has thrived in America not because it helps is connect with our spirituality but because it helps us connect with our physical bodies.

In another review, the literary critic Michiko Kakutani , writing in The New York Times , states that Syman deftly traces how Emerson and Thoreau enabled yoga to take root in America, providing a "lively gallery of larger-than-life characters" in the story of American yoga.

    Breath of Life Yoga and the Five Prana Vayus CONTENTS Prana Vayu: 4 The Breath of Vitality Apana Vayu: 9 The Anchoring Breath Samana Vayu: 14 The Breath of Balance Udana Vayu: 19 The Breath of Ascent Vyana Vayu: 24 The Breath of Integration By Sandra Anderson Yoga International senior editor Sandra Anderson is co-author of Yoga: Mastering the Basics and has taught yoga and meditation for over 25 years. Photography: Kathryn LeSoine, Model: Sandra Anderson; Wardrobe: Top by Zobha; Pant by Prana © 2011 Himalayan International Institute of Yoga Science and Philosophy of the U.S.A. All rights reserved. Reproduction or use of editorial or pictorial content in any manner without written permission is prohibited. Introduction t its heart, hatha yoga is more than just flexibility or strength in postures; it is the management of prana, the vital life force that animates all levels of being. Prana enables the body to move and the mind to think. It is the intelligence that coordinates our senses, and the perceptible manifestation of our higher selves. By becoming more attentive to prana—and enhancing and directing its flow through the Apractices of hatha yoga—we can invigorate the body and mind, develop an expanded inner awareness, and open the door to higher states of consciousness. The yoga tradition describes five movements or functions of prana known as the vayus (literally “winds”)—prana vayu (not to be confused with the undivided master prana), apana vayu, samana vayu, udana vayu, and vyana vayu. These five vayus govern different areas of the body and different physical and subtle activities.

  • SEEING INDIA: a Hyperreal Yoga Fantasy by Rebecca Elizabeth Long
    SEEING INDIA: A Hyperreal Yoga Fantasy by Rebecca Elizabeth Long Honors Thesis Appalachian State University Submitted to the Department of Anthropology, the Department of Art, and The Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts December, 2016 Dana E. Powell, Ph.D., Thesis Director Heather Waldroup, Ph.D., Second Reader Christina Sornito, Ph.D., Third Reader Sushmita Chatterjee, Ph.D., Fourth Reader Timothy Smith, Ph.D., Honors Director, Department of Anthropology James Toub, Ph.D., Honors Director, Department of Art Ted Zerucha, Ph.D., Interim Director, The Honors College ABSTRACT How does the yoga studio present India for viewing? As a yoga scholar-practitioner, I examine visual, linguistic, and embodied representations of India at a local yoga studio to address this question. The fieldwork for this ethnographic thesis spans yoga classes, yoga teacher training, and a two-week pilgrimage to India with members of this yoga studio. I pay special attention to bhakti yoga, a devotional form of yoga taught by the yoga studio as a way to offer a more spiritual and therefore more authentic yoga. Placing my experiences within a critical understanding of postcolonial yoga history, I show that yoga has been constructed to meet various ideologies and political projects, challenging the production of yoga as India’s pristine and unchanging cultural icon. I find that India is exhibited as an ultra-spiritual, pre- colonial, anti-modern location both at the yoga studio and when traveling as a yoga tourist. Using Jean Baudrillard’s theory of the hyperreal, along with postcolonial theories, I argue that the yoga studio creates a particular India for consumption that is not based in reality but is instead the product of oriental fantasies.

Physical educa­ tors became implicated in this transnational exchange adopting aspects of yoga into their programs and activities, though there has been an insufficient attempt to piece together the sum and pattern of their intersecting influences.

    TRANSLATING, PRACTICING AND COMMODIFYING YOGA IN THE U.S. By SHREENA NIKETA DIVYAKANT GANDHI A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2009 1 © 2009 Shreena Niketa Divyakant Gandhi 2 To My Dad and Mom 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First and foremost, I am thankful for all the teachers that I have had over the years. Each member of my dissertation committee has been instrumental in how I have come to think about history and religion. Dr. Jon Sensbach (through Rebecca) has helped me think about the characters that create the history; that they are not merely pawns but agents that are emblematic of their times and contexts, which helped me realize that the various yogi characters in my dissertation are not only products but also producers of history. Dr. Manuel Vasquez introduced me to Maurice Merleau-Ponty and the fallacy of a Cartesian outlook especially when examining a bodily practice. Far beyond yoga, Dr. Vasudha Narayanan opened my eyes to the richness and variety of my own history, heritage and faith; her words have brought meaning and hope in times of extreme light and darkness over these past six years. Dr. David Hackett has patiently and meticulously worked with me on a variety of subjects; because of his dedicated teaching I have been able to think through and about the commodity and fetish, its place in culture, capitalism and American religious history. Without the guidance and teaching of Dr. Narayanan and Dr.

Heislup RELG 401: Senior Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Major in Religion University of Mary Washington April 20, 2020 2 Notions of subtle body systems have migrated and changed throughout India and Tibet over many years with much controversy; the movement of these ideas to the West follows a similar controversial path, and these developments in both Asia and the West exemplify how one cannot identify a singular, legitimate, “subtle body”. Asserting that there is only one legitimate teaching, practice, and system of the subtle body is problematic and inappropriate. The subtle body refers to assumed energy points within the human body that cannot be viewed by the naked eye, but is believed by several traditions to be part of our physical existence. Indo-Tibetan notions of a subtle body do include many references to similar ideas when it comes to this type of physiology, but there has never been one sole agreement on a legitimate identification or intended use.

This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated) Mohler: Stefani Syman’s articles on technology, media, and culture have appeared in a number of periodicals ranging from the Wall Street Journal to Vogue and the Village Voice. She has also been featured in two documentary films and in 1995 she co-founded Feed an award winning independent web magazine. She is the author of the book The Subtle Body: The Story of Yoga in America. The book was published by Farrar, Straus, and Giroux earlier this year and it is one of the most interesting books I’ve read in a very long time. Stefani Syman, welcome to Thinking in Public. Syman: Thanks for having me. Mohler: This book was so compelling as I read it because what I really love to find just in terms of even avocational fun reading is a book that tells me a story that has never really been told this way before. No one has actually traced the history of yoga in America and its quite a story. How did you get to it? Syman: Well about fifteen years ago I began practicing yoga myself and as you mentioned I was running a web magazine, one of the first, and so I was a kind of student of culture and at a certain point not long after I began practicing yoga I realized I wanted to know how yoga had become so popular in the U.S.
