This dissertation explores the history of yoga in the U.S. Starting with the Transcendentalists of the mid-nineteenth century the concept of yoga has captured the imagination and attention of some Americans. The importation of yoga from India to the U.S., however, was never a whole transplantation; rather it has always been and continues to be a translation. Throughout out this dissertation's five main-body chapters (Introducing Yoga, Popularizing Yoga, Domesticating Yoga, Communalizing Yoga and Complicating Yoga), I trace this translation and map the effect that it has on the practice and commodification of yoga in the U.S. Through this mapping, I find that yoga is not an uprooted entity, corrupted by the flows of modernity, rather that yoga is and has always been rhizomal, a practice that changes and bends to its context while remaining flexible to the contours of global and North American cultures. The rhizomal quality of yoga means that yoga can be accessed at many points by various actors and interests, which has resulting in a remarkable history and provides point of access to explore the relationship between religion, capitalism and our contemporary everyday lives.
