(www.yogabroward.com) Ruth falls in the ranKs of countless others that have turned to Iyengar yoga to find relief and healing after a life-changing event. A horse racing accident in 1985 left her with numerous broKen bones in her leg, anKle and foot. With the help of Iyengar yoga, she feels she was better equipped to deal with the 28 years of chronic pain that eventually led her to a Total AnKle Replacement in 2013. Ruth says: “My attraction to yoga started at a young age when I spotted one of those ‘pocKet booKs’ sold at the grocery store checKout lines. At the time, the booK cost maybe 25 cents and the photo on the front was a woman standing on her head. I convinced my mother to buy it for me and that is what started my yoga practice. It was the greatest gift she gave me, just as it is said that the inverted poses are the greatest gift to humanity.” In addition to her travels to India to study with the Iyengar family, she continues her studies with Colleen Gallagher, Mary Reilly and Manouso Manos.

  • Introduction and Background to the Article on the Future of Yoga in the West
    Introduction and background to the article on the future of Yoga in the West **updated version from 03.12.16, since first publishing** I began this project (which is now much more of a process) on a (seemingly) simple request to write an article on the future of Yoga in the west for Hindu Human Rights. Knowing yet another first­person “State of the (Yoga) Union” address would essentially have zero value in light of the bigger ​ issues in western Yoga world, I decided to base the project around a series of interviews with different people who had been involved in the discussion of how we got to where we are, i.e., this “Wild West, anything goes” concept of Yoga. Suffice it to say, as the conversations began, the project became infinitely more complex. Each one of the interviews highlighted something specific to framing the issues; each of the voices provided a myriad of “jumping off” points for further investigation and research. And with many other key collaborators besides the interviewees also involved, the depth and complexity of the topic expanded incredibly. Really, the “digging into” the topic could go on forever, but at a certain point the “getting it out” needs to take precedence in light of all that is at stake here. All that said, given the extensive subject matter and all of the nuance and information involved ­­ as well as all that has arisen throughout the process ​ of interviews and related research ­­ the future of Yoga in the west article will be published in a series of three parts: Part I (as follows herein), “Adharmic Alliance: How the ivory tower helped Yoga Alliance “certify” Yoga as secular and detach it from its ​ ​ ​ Hindu roots”: ● The first part frames the issues of Yoga in the west, and specifically the westernization of Yoga, around a case study of “Sedlock v.

    A SURVEY OF YOUTH YOGA CURRICULUMS A Dissertation Submitted to The Temple University Graduate Board in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY By Robin A. Lowry August, 2011 Examining Committee Members: Ricky Swalm, Advisory Chair, Kinesiology Michael Sachs, Kinesiology Catherine Schifter, Education Jay Segal, Public Health ii © Copyright By Robin A. Lowry 2011 All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT A SURVEY OF YOUTH YOGA CURRICULUMS By Robin A. Lowry Doctor of Philosophy Temple University, 2011 Doctoral Advisory Committee Chair: Ricky Swalm, Ph. D. Introduction: Yoga is increasingly recommended for the K-12 population as a health intervention, a Physical Education activity, and for fun. What constitutes Yoga however, what is taught, and how it is taught, is variable. The purpose of this study was to survey Youth Yoga curriculums to identify content, teaching strategies, and assessments; dimensions of wellness addressed; whether national Health and Physical Education (HPE) standards were met; strategies to manage implementation fidelity; and shared constructs between Yoga and educational psychology. Methods: A descriptive qualitative design included a preliminary survey (n = 206) and interview (n = 1), questionnaires for curriculum developers (n = 9) and teachers (n = 5), interviews of developers and teachers (n = 3), lesson observations (n= 3), and a review of curriculum manuals. Results: Yoga content was adapted from elements associated with the Yoga Sutras but mostly from modern texts, interpretations, and personal experiences. Curriculums were not consistently mapped, nor elements defined. Non-Yoga content included games, music, and storytelling, which were used to teach Yoga postures and improve concentration, balance, and meta-cognitive skills.

Sherma | Office: ACB 233 Rel. Office Tel: 213-740-0272 COURSE DESCRIPTION Yoga is now practiced globally and has extensive branches in the West. The interpretations and adaptations of yoga in the West are almost exclusively associated with fitness and wellness in the popular imagination. Yet, the history of yoga includes but surpasses wellness. Yoga, with millennia-old roots in the Hindu spiritual ethos, has traditionally been understood to represent major types of paths, each meant to lead the practitioner to enlightenment, and the fulfillment of the human potential defined differently by different yoga traditions. This course will study the living traditions of Hindu yoga, including the paths of knowledge, wisdom, love, and selfless service, and explore the yogic journey through its narrative literature, philosophy, art, music, and contemporary research on yogic states of consciousness.

  • TRADITIONAL KNOWLEDGE and INDIA's BACKBEND on YOGA ABSTRACT One of the Biggest Global Trends of the 21St Century Is That of Pr
    [VOL II] JOURNAL OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY STUDIES [ISSUE II] TRADITIONAL KNOWLEDGE AND INDIA’S BACKBEND ON YOGA RASHMI RAGHAVAN ABSTRACT One of the biggest global trends of the 21st Century is that of practising Yoga, due to its physical, mental and spiritual benefits. Developed in India almost two millennia ago, its spread to the West has increased the number of practitioners as well as made it a commercially successful business. Any business can grow only in a strong intellectual property regime. The appropriate categorization of Yoga in any IP regime is highly disputed when it becomes the subject of copyright and trademark infringement lawsuits. Yoga, by and large is traditional knowledge, as it is an informational system giving a well- defined procedure in terms of postures, breathing techniques and a holistic philosophy to raise the standard of mankind. However, the law in terms of traditional knowledge has been sui generis because the WIPO Negotiations of the Intergovernmental Committee (‘IGC’) on Traditional Knowledge ('TK’) has been unable to create an international instrument for the protection and exercise of rights of indigenous communities who claim to be collective owners of these types of TK. The situation becomes extremely precarious when knowledge like Yoga becomes widely diffused outside the community where it originated to claim monetary or moral rights over them. The author argues that Yoga as a comprehensive system fits well within the current definition of Traditional Knowledge as an Intellectual Property. However, due to its widespread nature and easy accessibility, it cannot gain as high a ground for protection as secret or sacred traditional knowledge is currently granted.
