The book introduces readers to three alternative, understudied categories of transnational yoga practice which include food, music, and breathing. Studying these categories of embodied practice using interdisciplinary methods reveals transformative "engaged alchemies" that have been extensively deployed by contemporary disseminators of yoga. Readers will encounter how South Asian dietary regimens, musical practices, and breathing techniques have been adapted into contemporaneous worlds of yoga practice both within, but also beyond, the Indian Ocean rim. The book brings the field of Modern Yoga Studies into productive dialogue with the fields of Indian Ocean Studies, Embodiment Studies, Food Studies, Ethnomusicology, and Pollution Studies. It will also be a valuable resource for both scholarly work and for teaching in the fields of Religious Studies, Anthropology, and South Asian Religions"-- |cProvided by publisher. 650 0 Yoga. 650 0 Prānāyāma. 650 0 Mind and body. 650 0 Spiritual life. 650 6 Yoga. |0(CaQQLa)201-0018036 650 7 Yoga (philosophy) |2aat |0(CStmoGRI)aat300417289 650 7 Mind and body |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01021997 650 7 Prānāyāma |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01080759 650 7 Spiritual life |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01130100 650 7 Yoga |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01182871 776 08 |iOnline version:Miller, Christopher Jain, 1981- |tEmbodying transnational yoga |dOxon : Routledge, 2023 |z9781003414032 |w(DLC) 2023022234 830 0 Routledge series on the Indian Ocean and Trans-Asia 910 |cG0601mon |d3110-08 |gYBP |h20636 914 (OCoLC)on1381093281 |bOCoLC |cmatch |d20240417 |eprocessed |f1381093281 980 20138917 |f20636 |i170.00 |j139.40 |n40032150422 982 |cf |q32101119725081
