Teaching Contemporary Yoga Physical Philosophy and Critical Issues

Teaching Contemporary Yoga Physical Philosophy and Critical Issues

Teaching Contemporary Yoga provides a novel look at how modern yoga is understood practiced and taught globally. Utilising perspectives from several academic disciplines the authors offer an analysis of the current state of modern yoga and the possibilities for future experimentation and innovation. The authors draw on anthropological performance and embodiment theories to understand yoga practice as a potentially powerful ritual of transformation as well as a cultural product steeped in the process of meaning making. They craft a unique analysis that contrasts asana with the largely unexamined philosophy underlying the practice of vinyasa while imagining a vibrant future for the evolution of yoga through excellence in teaching. Unlike other writings about yoga the authors offer a critique of the current practice of yoga as both diminished and utilitarian while providing a path to reinvigorating the discipline based on current scientific knowledge and methods for teaching and practice. Along with these theoretical perspectives and the analysis of contemporary yoga in the West the authors offer practical applications to address the challenges of teaching yoga in a society where individualism and materialism are core values. Open-ended exercises in reflection and experimentation offer opportunities for readers to apply what they have learned to their teaching and personal practice. This is a vital guide for any yoga-oriented scholar teacher or practitioner and is an essential companion for contemporary teacher training. | Teaching Contemporary Yoga Physical Philosophy and Critical Issues

Retelling Time Alternative Temporalities from Premodern South Asia

Retelling Time Alternative Temporalities from Premodern South Asia

Retelling Time challenges the hegemony of colonial modernity over academic disciplines and over ways in which we think about something as fundamental as time. It reclaims a bouquet of alternative practices of time from premodern South Asia which stem from worldviews that have been marginalized. These practices relate to a range of classical and vernacular genres including alaṃkāra theravāda yoga rāmakathā tasawwuf āyāraṃga purāṇa trikā-tantra navya-nyāya pratyabhijñā carita kūṭīyāṭṭam and maṅgala kāvya. These represent multiple languages such as Sanskrit Persian Pali Prakrit Awadhi Malayalam Kannada and Bengali as well as diverse streams from Hinduism Jainism Buddhism and Sufi Islam to logic yoga tantra theatre and poetics. Retelling Time questions the modern Eurocentric belief in an empty homogenous abbreviated secular and irreversible time. It proposes instead that that premodern South Asia invested time with cultural function and value which ranged from the contingent to the transcendent the quotidian to the cosmic the fleeting to the eternal and the social to the spiritual. Accordingly time was reworked - stretched melded collapsed recursed rolled over and even extinguished. Sacred social aesthetic scientific fictional historical and performative South Asian traditions are seen here in conversation with one other mediated by an ethical paradigm. Their collective challenge is to decolonize our ways of knowing and being. This book will be of interest to scholars of South Asian history philosophy of history anthropology literature Sanskrit post colonial studies cultural studies studies of temporality and of the Global South. | Retelling Time Alternative Temporalities from Premodern South Asia
