How Yoga Has Scandalized Americans and Shaped Our Understanding of the Practice

Scan the headlines about yoga, and you'll notice a pattern: yoga cures back pain, helps you lose weight, reduces stress and fatigue, and on and on. Despite yoga's rampant popularity, we yogis almost compulsively promote the discipline. But few understand why. Americans started practicing yoga as soon as teachers arrived from India; but outsiders--the press, self-appointed moral guardians, and disgruntled family members--just as quickly damned it as corrupting of body and soul. In this illuminating keynote address, we'll discuss the most florid attacks on yoga from the 19th and early 20th centuries, unpack the more subtle apologetics of yoga in America post-1960, and then explain how these have shaped our experience of the discipline both then and now.

Stefanie Syman, a literature graduate of Yale University, was a founder of Feed, an early award-winning Web magazine. She has written for the Wall Street Journal, Rolling Stone, Vogue, and Yoga Journal. A native of Los Angeles, she lives in Park Slope, Brooklyn, and has practiced yoga for more than 15 years.
