It's taken yoga several thousand years to journey from a handful of
monasteries dotting the Himalayas to the myriad studios of London,
Lower Manhattan, and beyond. Whether bathing with holy men in the
Ganges or joining the chorus of a thousand voices chanting "om,"
photographer Michael O'Neill decided to devote himself to
experiencing and recording the world of yoga at this critical
juncture in its history. The result is a powerful photographic
tribute to the age-old discipline turned global phenomenon, with
over 250 million practitioners united in physical, spiritual, and
mindful practice worldwide. Famous for his photographs of the
famous, O'Neill first set out to make portraits of the most
influential yogis of our time-B. K. S. Iyengar, T. K. V.
Desikachar, and Gurmukh Kaur Khalsa, among others-as well as those
known for integrating yoga into their high-profile lives, such as
Donna Karan, Sting, and Trudie Styler. But as his yoga and
meditation practice deepened, so did his drive to look past the
personalities and the poses to document the roots of yoga. Over ten
years O'Neill trekked beyond the traditional epicenters to meditate
with monks in the Tibetan Plateau, live with sadhus in their tents
at the Kumbh Mela, and marvel at the boys who practice the little
known discipline of Mallakhamba at the wrestling grounds in Kochi.
This extraordinary body of work tells the story of yoga as it's
never been told before, with nearly 200 photographs. Two of
O'Neill's most important subjects, meditation master His Holiness
Swami Chidanand Saraswatiji and yogi Eddie Stern, join the
conversation with their essays on the role of yoga in contemporary
culture, the history of the practice from the time of Patanjali,
and the healing power of "the architecture of peace," a series of
postures that bring the practitioner closer to touching the
infinite.
