Bog beskrivelse

American yoga is often (mis)understood as elitist and exclusionary--as a pursuit of fitness practiced by bendable, beautiful bodies. It is commodified and marketed as a variety of expensive brands and disposable trends. The focus on the physical overshadows yoga''s elements of conscious breath, mindful meditation, deep philosophy, and transformative healing. Or, yoga is assumed to be a religious practice, or just a bunch of stretching, or unfettered appropriation. Despite its popularity in the U.S., we are mostly unaware of yoga''s ancient roots as well as its contemporary applications.

Drawing from her experience as a professor and yoga teacher, the author of this book explores the marginalized, feminist, queer, grassroots, underground, interconnected, creative, innovative, and somatic elements of yoga that engage so many of us. The author offers exploratory embodied practices, mines diverse sources, and asks critical questions about identity, culture, and power. She asks us to consider what American yoga has to offer our individual and collective future and how we can leverage embodied practices toward transformation, on and off of our yoga mats.
