Embodying Transnational Yoga
Book • 2023
In this book, Christopher Miller analyzes the practices of eating (yogic diet), singing (kīrtan), and breathing (prāṇāyāma).
He discusses the origins and history of the harmonium, how yoga intersects with food and pollution studies, and questions what it means to practice prāṇāyāma in a heavily polluted Indian city.
Through an ethnographic study of yoga culture, Christopher Miller invites readers to critically study their own yoga culture.
Miller shows how these practices are intertwined with broader cultural contexts.
His work highlights the motivations of contemporary practitioners and seeks to understand yoga within its own complex contexts.
