    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.

    International Journal for the Study of New Religions 5.1 (2014) 114–116 ISSN 2041-9511 (print) ISSN 2041-952X (online) doi:10.1558/ijsnr.v5i1.114 A History of Modern Yoga: Patañjali and Western Esotericism, by Elizabeth De Michelis. Continuum, 2004. 282 pages, 14 b&w illustrations. Pb., $49.95, ISBN-13: 9780826487728. Reviewed by Anna Pokazanyeva, University of California, Santa Barbara, [email protected] Keywords yoga, esotericism, Vivekananda, Neo-Vedanta, occultism Elizabeth De Michelis’s work is truly a pioneering study in the growing field that takes on twentieth-century yoga as a subject of serious academic inquiry. De Michelis’s central argument rests on her definition of Modern Yoga as “the graft of a Western branch onto the Indian tree of yoga” that specifically consists of “certain types of yoga that evolved mainly through the interaction of Western individuals interested in Indian religions and a number of more or less Westernized Indians over the last 150 years” (2). This definition leads the author to focus on the presence of these Western esoteric currents within the Bengal Renaissance and the consequent dialogue between Western New Age religion (which, following Wouter Hanegraaf, she dates to the metaphysical/ harmonial movements of the nineteenth century) and Neo-Vedanta as propa- gated by the Brahmo Samaj. Here, Vivekananda emerges as the inheritor of Brahmo Samaj ideology, which forms the seeds of his initial conception of Modern Yoga, as first put forth in his Rāja Yoga (1896). Vivekananda’s role in the creation of the category De Michelis refers to as Modern Yoga is the crux of the present work.

  • A Preliminary Survey of Modern Yoga Studies 1
    Asian Medicine 3 (2007) 1–19 www.brill.nl/asme A Preliminary Survey of Modern Yoga Studies 1 Elizabeth De Michelis Abstract Modern yoga has emerged as a transnational global phenomenon during the course of the twen- tieth century and from about 1975 onwards it has progressively become acculturated in many different developed or developing societies and milieus worldwide.2 Eventually it started to be studied more critically, and various processes of enquiry and reflection were initiated. Perhaps not surprisingly, this trend has been especially noticeable in academic circles, where we see the earliest examples of research on acculturated forms of modern yoga in the 1990s,3 with work picking up real momentum from about 2000.4 1 ‘Preliminary’ because it is expected that a more extended version of this article will be pub- lished in a volume edited by Jean Byrne and Mark Singleton (forthcoming). 2 See the following historical studies: De Michelis 2004 about the genesis and overall devel- opment and acculturation of modern forms of yoga, Alter 2004 about themes relating to the modernisation of yoga in India, Singleton 2007 for an in-depth study of the seminal period from the end of the nineteenth century to 1945. Singleton’s work is especially relevant in the present context as it traces the rise of the āsana-based, or postural, forms of modern yoga that are the most thoroughly acculturated nowadays. 3 An important clarification: sociologists of religion, and occasionally others, have been dis- cussing imported yoga phenomena since at least the 1970s and especially from the 1980s onwards (see, for example, Ellwood 1988 [1973] and Barker 1982).

  • Translating, Practicing and Commodifying Yoga in the Us
    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.

Suzanne Newcombe. 2019. Sheffield, Bristol: Equinox. 309 pages. Yoga in Britain is the long-awaited monograph by Suzanne Newcombe, an American academic based in the United Kingdom (Open University and Inform, King’s College London).1 Known as a prolific scholar in the fields of yoga studies and contemporary religion, Newcombe currently studies the relations between yoga and āyurveda as part of the AyurYog research project (ayuryog.org). Yoga in Britain, the fruit of a long-lasting inquiry, reflects her interest in the transformation of religiosity and spirituality in the twentieth century, seen through the lens of yoga practice as it was introduced to and developed in Great Britain. Newcombe’s book is a continuation of the foundational studies on modern yoga by Elizabeth De Michelis2 and Mark Singleton.3 While these two authors focused mainly on the colonial period and the British influence on yoga in India, Newcombe discusses the transformation of yoga in Britain, after India achieved independence. Although the narrative sweeps across the entire twentieth century, her most in-depth analysis covers the period between 1945 and 1980. Despite the book title’s reference to ‘Britain,’ the work focuses mostly on what was going on in England, or more precisely in large English cities such as London, Birmingham, and Manchester.

Using a combination of primary sources, archival materials, and popular writing from the period, it offers a detailed and data- based understanding of the first half of yoga’s history in the United States by describing what yoga was, where and how it was taught, and who its teachers and students were during this time. It argues that early American yoga was not physical or postural, but primarily mental and magical. Early American yoga was not centered on books or specific figures, but rather upon an active and widespread network of travelling teachers who gave tiered levels of instruction through public lectures, private classes, and dyadic relationships. Teachers of yoga were overwhelmingly of a type — educated, cultured, and professionally savvy — and students were largely female, affluent, and invested in American metaphysical religion. The article concludes with a reappraisal of the historical importance given to the figures of Vivekananda and Yogananda and suggests that their careers and legacies in the United States are best understood within this larger context of early American yoga.
