Download or read book Yoga For Americans written by Indra Devi and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2015-11-06 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally from Riga, Latvia, Yoga practitioner, author and teacher Indra Devi (born Eugenie Peterson) lived to 102 years! She became fascinated with India at age 15 and set out to India in 1927 to become a disciple of Sri Tirumalai Krishnamacharya, after which time she moved to different parts of the world and taught Yoga. She comes from the renowned tradition of Mysore. For thousands of years the culture of Yoga has existed in India, bringing to its practitioners remarkable health and spiritual well-being. In YOGA FOR AMERICANS Indra Devi has brought this ancient art to those who need it most: Americans, victims of a driving, competitive, tension-ridden society which suffers from its own superabundance. Here, in the richest country in the world, an alarming number of people still die from malnutrition and allied diseases; obesity, underactivity, and psychosomatic illness are commonplace; tension-inspired heart attacks are the worst killers of all. Here is an invaluable book, packed with sound, proven advice, including many extras such as an introductory question-and-answer session, lavish illustrations, special diets, and constructive advice for those suffering from arthritis, asthma, and overweight.

Download or read book Yoga in America written by D'Orsogna and published by Lawchakra. This book was released on 2023-02-25 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation explores the ways in which various Western yoga teachers have interpreted and presented yoga to an American audience, and how media outlets have represented those yoga practices to a broader American audience between the 1890s and the 2010s. In particular, the case studies illuminate the ways in which contemporary concerns have influenced how yoga teachers and media reports have framed and responded to yoga practices. In this dissertation, I present a series of Western yoga practitioners that embody the most interesting and distinctive representations of popular understanding of yoga for their individual historical moments. Though the chapters do not reflect a linear development, recurrent discourses concerning Orientalism, postcolonialism, race, gender, sexuality, and class in the United States re-emerge in each chapter as different yoga schools respond to local and global concerns. Through these different vignettes, a trajectory of American yoga as taught and practiced by Westerners in the United States historicizes yoga in ways that are often overlooked in favor of the "timelessness" of the practice
Download or read book The Subtle Body written by Stefanie Syman and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2010-06-15 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Subtle Body, Stefanie Syman tells the surprising story of yoga's transformation from a centuries-old spiritual discipline to a multibillion-dollar American industry. Yoga's history in America is longer and richer than even its most devoted practitioners realize. It was present in Emerson's New England, and by the turn of the twentieth century it was fashionable among the leisure class. And yet when Americans first learned about yoga, what they learned was that it was a dangerous, alien practice that would corrupt body and soul. A century later, you can find yoga in gyms, malls, and even hospitals, and the arrival of a yoga studio in a neighborhood is a signal of cosmopolitanism. How did it happen? It did so, Stefanie Syman explains, through a succession of charismatic yoga teachers, who risked charges of charlatanism as they promoted yoga in America, and through generations of yoga students, who were deemed unbalanced or even insane for their efforts. The Subtle Body tells the stories of these people, including Henry David Thoreau, Pierre A. Bernard, Margaret Woodrow Wilson, Christopher Isherwood, Sally Kempton, and Indra Devi. From New England, the book moves to New York City and its new suburbs between the wars, to colonial India, to postwar Los Angeles, to Haight-Ashbury in its heyday, and back to New York City post-9/11. In vivid chapters, it takes in celebrities from Gloria Swanson and George Harrison to Christy Turlington and Madonna. And it offers a fresh view of American society, showing how a seemingly arcane and foreign practice is as deeply rooted here as baseball or ballet. This epic account of yoga's rise is absorbing and often inspiring—a major contribution to our understanding of our society.

Download or read book A Trip Back in Time Yoga As a Distinctly American Cultural Phenomenon written by Claribel Clanin and published by . This book was released on 2021-11-30 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's pretty accurate to say yoga has taken the country by storm. From ancient Indian civilizations to the yoga studio at the corner of your street. If you've ever wondered how yoga came to be the global sensation in the West it is today, here's all you need to know. This paper examines the interplay between east-west mobility, capitalism, and the rapid expansion of yoga in the United States. It begins with a broad overview of yoga's arrival to the United States and its gradual expansion from 1965 to 1990. It then dives into the explosion of yoga as a mass-market phenomenon from 1990 until today, looking specifically at how the intersection of money, media, and a mass production and franchise mindset helped yoga shift into something that would be unrecognizable to an Indian practitioner of a hundred years ago. Yoga in America investigates how the benefits of this miraculous full-body practice and philosophy met American cultural wounds and predilections, shifted and adapted, and gave us the yoga we have now- a yoga that often keeps people on a hedonic treadmill rather than offering liberation. I include some commentary on meta-trends for the west to reckon with (including the tendency to spiritual materialism and cultural appropriation). It ends with some musings on yoga as medicine- the real healing and awakening that has happened for many, many practitioners, and the gifts that are still available if we can claim them.
