The practice of yoga has become hugely popular in the West. Most people assume (and many claim) that 'postural' yoga -- characterized by the familiar, demanding, physical poses -- is an ancient Indian tradition. But in fact, as Mark Singleton shows, this type of yoga is quite a recent development, with its beginnings traceable to the middle of the 19th-century. Singleton here presents the first in-depth study of the origins of postural yoga, challenging many current notions about its nature and origins.

Pressestimmen
What Mark Singleton does prove, with massive, irrefutable, fascinating and often hilarious evidence, is that yoga is a rich, multi-cultural, constantly changing inter-disciplinary construction, far from the pure line that its adherents often claim for it. Wendy Doniger, Times Literary Supplement This book, an invaluable source on modern yoga, should be on the reading list of every serious student and teacher training program. Richard Rosen, Yoga Journal
