Today yoga is a thoroughly globalised phenomenon. Yoga has taken
the world by storm and is even seeing renewed popularity in India.
Both in India and abroad, adults, children and teenagers are
practicing yoga in diverse settings; gyms, schools, home, work,
yoga studios and temples. The yoga diaspora began well over a
hundred years ago and we continue to see new manifestations and
uses of Yoga in the modern world. As the first of its kind this
collection draws together cutting edge scholarship in the field,
focusing on the theory and practice of yoga in contemporary times.
Offering a range of perspectives on yoga's contemporary
manifestations, it maps the movement, development and consolidation
of yoga in global settings. The collection features some of the
most well-known authors within the field and newer voices. The
contributions span a number of disciplines in the humanities,
including, anthropology, Philosophy, Studies in Religion and Asian
studies, offering a range of entry points to the issues involved in
the study of the subject. As such, is of use to those involved in
academic scholarship, as well as to the growing number of yoga
practitioners who seek a deeper account of the origin and
significance of the techniques and traditions they are engaging
with. It will also-and perhaps most of all-speak to the growing
numbers of 'scholar-practitioners' who straddle these two realms.
