Description

Thinking in Āsana explores the relationship between yoga practice and philosophy in three popular lineages: Viniyoga, Iyengar Yoga, and Ashtanga Yoga. A detailed examination reveals how differences in movement during practice influence interpretations of Patanjali's system. The book draws on linguistic theories to examine the systematic connection between yoga practice and philosophical understanding. By juxtaposing movement experiences with a textual analysis, Thinking in Āsana sheds new light on modern postural yoga in both its theoretical and practical aspects. This insightful exploration highlights the role of movement in human meaning-making activity, providing a nuanced understanding of how yoga philosophy is understood.
