Selling Yoga

Premodern and early modern yoga comprise techniques with a wide range of aims, from turning inward in quest of the true self, to turning outward for divine union, to channeling bodily energy in pursuit of sexual pleasure. Early modern yoga also encompassed countercultural beliefs and practices. In contrast, today, modern yoga aims at the enhancement of the mind-body complex but does so according to contemporary dominant metaphysical, health, and fitness paradigms. Consequently, yoga is now a part of popular culture. In Selling Yoga, Andrea R. Jain explores the popularization of yoga in the context of late-twentieth-century consumer culture. She departs from conventional approaches by undermining essentialist definitions of yoga as well as assumptions that yoga underwent a linear trajectory of increasing popularization. While some studies trivialize popularized yoga systems by reducing them to the mere commodification or corruption of what is perceived as an otherwise fixed, authentic system, Jain suggests that this dichotomy oversimplifies the history of yoga as well as its meanings for contemporary practitioners. By discussing a wide array of modern yoga types, from Iyengar Yoga to Bikram Yoga, Jain argues that popularized yoga cannot be dismissed--that it has a variety of religious meanings and functions. Yoga brands destabilize the basic utility of yoga commodities and assign to them new meanings that represent the fulfillment of self-developmental needs often deemed sacred in contemporary consumer culture.

For serious yoga practitioners curious to know the ancient origins of the art, Stephen Phillips, a professional philosopher and sanskritist with a long-standing personal practice, lays out the philosophies of action, knowledge, and devotion as well as the processes of meditation, reasoning, and self-analysis that formed the basis of yoga in ancient and classical India and continue to shape it today. In discussing yoga's fundamental commitments, Phillips explores traditional teachings of hatha yoga, karma yoga, bhakti yoga, and tantra, and shows how such core concepts as self-monitoring consciousness, karma, nonharmfulness (ahimsa), reincarnation, and the powers of consciousness relate to modern practice. He outlines values implicit in bhakti yoga and the tantric yoga of beauty and art and explains the occult psychologies of koshas, skandhas, and chakras. His book incorporates original translations from the early Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita, the Yoga Sutra (the entire text), the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, and seminal tantric writings of the tenth-century Kashmiri Shaivite, Abhinava Gupta. A glossary defining more than three hundred technical terms and an extensive bibliography offer further help to nonscholars. A remarkable exploration of yoga's conceptual legacy, Yoga, Karma, and Rebirth crystallizes ideas about self and reality that unite the many incarnations of yoga.

Best Overall Runner-Up: Yoga The Iyengar Way

Many yogis consider this a complement to Iyengar's 'Light on Yoga.' Key poses are covered and the large color photographs and explicit alignment points make it a more accessible companion volume. The authors, Silva, Mira, and Shyam Mehta, have impeccable Iyengar credentials.

'Yoga: The Iyengar Way' was written in 1990 and the photos may look a little dated because of the unitards. However, they're almost preferable to the 'sexy' photos so often seen in more recent books.

Best Illustrated: Yoga Anatomy

The unique strength of 'Yoga Anatomy' by Leslie Kaminoff and Amy Matthews is its illustrations. Rendered through a process of photography, medical illustration, and digital media, each pose is shown from the inside out with the pertinent anatomy highlighted.

The muscular skeletal actions of the body in each pose are also described in detail and Kaminoff's expertise on the diaphragm and breathing are extremely valuable. It's a book many instructors and students will find useful for everyday reference.

Best Memoir: Poser: My Life in 23 Yoga Poses

An outstanding entry in the increasingly popular yoga memoir genre, this book sets itself apart with truly good writing. In it, author Claire Dederer takes readers on her yoga journey with a book that goes beyond the physical benefits of yoga.

The author discovered yoga while dealing with a back injury and breastfeeding. Her story is universal, though mothers who have struggled with finding balance in their lives after having children will find it particularly inspirational. (Hint: yoga helps.)

Best History: Yoga Body: The Origins of Modern Posture Practice

'Yoga Body' is a fascinating look by scholar Mark Singleton into the history of yoga asana. This book is a real game changer, taking everything you thought you knew about yoga's roots in ancient India and turning it on its ear. You'll find yourself questioning a lot of the conventional wisdom you hear in yoga classes after reading this one.

Best for Beginners: Cool Yoga Tricks

'Cool Yoga Tricks' by Miriam Austin is perfect for a beginner who wants to practice at home. It offers creative adaptations of many poses using props such as chairs, blocks, blankets, and straps.

Instead of showing super flexible advanced yogis in gravity-defying poses, it offers practical advice for real people. It is also ideal for yoga teachers because it is full of ideas students will love.

Best for Pregnancy: Bountiful, Beautiful, Blissful

Gurmukh Kaur Khalsa is a leading Kundalini yoga teacher who is especially known for her prenatal yoga classes. The yoga in 'Bountiful, Beautiful, Blissful' is gentle, but the anecdotes and advice for pregnant women are unique in the sea of pregnancy books. It is empowering for anyone contemplating natural childbirth.

Best Photography: Yoga

This beautifully photographed coffee-table style book features some of yoga's leading teachers of the 1990s. The list includes icons like Rodney Yee, Sharon Gannon, David Life, Richard Freeman, and Patricia Walden. Author Linda Sparrowe offers instructional notes and the black and white images by David Martinez are very impressive.

'Yoga' was first published in 2002, then again in 2008. It's also important to know that it's available in hardcover and paperback, so be sure you know what you're buying with this one. The prices vary greatly.

Best Humor: Hell-Bent

The subtitle of Benjamin Lorr's book says it all: 'Obsession, Pain, and the Search for Something Like Transcendence in Competitive Yoga.' Well, it almost says it all because this is really a book about Bikram yoga from a good writer with a great sense of humor. If you're looking for something a little more entertaining than the average yoga book, 'Hell-Bent' is perfect.

Best on Modern Yoga: The Goddess Pose

'The Goddess Pose' is a fascinating look at how yoga made its way into the mainstream culture of the West. Author Michelle Goldberg does this through the biography of Indra Devi, one of the first people to teach postural yoga in the United States. Your understanding of modern yoga is not complete without knowing the significance of Devi's influence.
