Thinking in Asana is an exploration of three popular lineages of
modern postural yoga - Viniyoga, Iyengar Yoga, and Ashtanga Yoga.
The book describes in detail the different styles of yoga practice
advocated within the three lineages, and traces the influence of
this practice on the corresponding yoga philosophies. While
Viniyoga, Iyengar Yoga, and Ashtanga Yoga name the yoga of
Patanjali as the source of their teachings, the interpretations of
Patanjali's system differ significantly between the three lineages.
A careful examination suggests that these differences can be
accounted for by referring to the differences in the kinds of
movement experienced during yoga practice. Linguistic theories of
George Lakoff and Mark Johnson provide methodological groundwork
for such examination. By deconstructing the experience of movement
specific to modern postural yoga practice, and by juxtaposing it to
a linguistic analysis of a textual corpus, Thinking in Asana argues
that there is a systematic relation between how yoga is practiced
and how yoga philosophy is understood. In doing so, the book not
only gives a detailed, insightful look at modern postural yoga in
practice and theory, but it also emphasises the role of movement in
human meaning-making activity.
