Krátky popis
How did a venerable Indian spiritual discipline turn into a L20
billion-a-year mainstay of the wellness industry? What happened
along yoga’s winding path from the caves and forests of the sages
to the gyms, hospitals and village halls of the modern West?This
comprehensive history sets yoga in its global cultural context for
the first time, leading us on a journey from arcane religious
rituals and medieval body-magic, through Christianity and the
British Empire, to Indian nationalists and the twentieth-century
West. Yoga has now become embedded in powerful social currents
including feminism, digital media, celebrity culture, the stress
pandemic and the quest for authentic identity. Shearer’s revealing
history boasts a colourful cast of characters past and present, in
an engaging tale of scholars and scandal, science and spirit,
wisdom and waywardness.This is the untold story of yoga, warts and
all
