This book provides a rigorously researched, critically comparative
introduction to yoga. Is This Yoga? Concepts, Histories, and the
Complexities of Contemporary Practice recognizes the importance of
contemporary understandings of yoga and, at the same time, provides
historical context and complexity to modern and pre-modern
definitions of yogic ideas and practices. Approaching yoga as a
vast web of concepts, traditions, social interests, and embodied
practices, it raises questions of knowledge, identity, and power
across time and space, including the dynamics of "East" and "West."
The text is divided into three main sections: thematic concepts;
histories; and topics in modern practice. This accessible guide is
essential reading for undergraduate students approaching the topic
for the first time, as well as yoga teachers, teacher training
programs, casual and devoted practitioners, and interested
non-practitioners.
