Yoga in Britain reveals how yoga came to be an accepted, mainstream
activity. In mid-twentieth century Britain, yoga transformed from
an esoteric concept into a something that could be taught in to
middle-class women in adult education classes. Much of the
popularization of yoga in this context was seen in terms of being a
source of potential public benefit in promoting physical health and
wellbeing. Yoga was also widely acknowledged to offer an
opportunity for spiritual exploration, but largely as a private,
highly individual concern. Using extensive archival evidence and
oral history interviews, the book stresses the importance of adult
educational structures in how yoga was popularized in twentieth
century Britain. It argues that this context is crucial in
understanding the contemporary popularity of yoga globally.
