Summary

In this revolutionary book, Mark Singleton calls into question many common beliefs about nature and the origins of postural yoga. It proposes a radically new way to understand the meaning of the yoga that millions of people throughout the world practice today.

En esta obra revolucionaria, Mark Singleton pone en entredicho muchas convicciones comunes sobre la naturaleza y los orígenes del yoga postural y propone una forma radicalmente nueva de entender el significado del yoga que hoy practican millones de personas de todo el mundo. Singleton demuestra que, contra lo que generalmente se cree, no hay en la tradición índica evidencia alguna de una práctica de los asanas orientada a la salud y la mejora física como la que domina el panorama global del yoga en el siglo XXI. La sorprendente y controvertida tesis de Singleton se basa en que el yoga moderno le debe tanto al nacionalismo indio y –lo que es aún más asombroso– a las aspiraciones espirituales de los gimnastas y culturistas europeos y a los movimientos gimnásticos femeninos de principios del siglo XX en Europa y Estados Unidos, como a las antiguas tradiciones yóguicas de la India. Este descubrimiento le permite a Singleton explicar el proceso por el que las actuales formas predominantes de yoga postural, como el Ashtanga, Bikram o el Hatha yoga, han llegado a ser el fenómeno tan enormemente popular que son en la actualidad.
