Yoga, the Body, and Embodied Social Change: An Intersectional Feminist Analysis

This book examines yoga as a cultural phenomenon in the United States. The essays offer an intersectional feminist analysis of the ways in which racial, gender, sexual, economic, and dis/ability power dynamics impact access to the U.S. yoga sphere and consider both the limitations and possibilities of yoga for feminist social justice.
