Below you can download a PDF document with a discussion of a reader by M. Singleton and E. Goldberg (eds.): Gurus of Modern Yoga. My essay - The Poverty of Yoga Protestantism -  is primarily written for yoga historians and people interested in the philosophy of methodologies. It is about  the  hidden pitfalls  and social biases embedded in much yoga historiography. It compares contemporary yoga historians with 20th Century protestant theologians who were trying to excavate the Christian truth from ancient texts. Doing this yoga scholars - as exemplified in Gurus of Modern Yoga -  tend to end up as apologetics and propagators.

    I have been involved with yoga asana on and off since the late 1970s.  During those years the role of yoga in society has changed dramatically. This blog aims to create debate and awareness of those changes.
