Description

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.
