The Subtle Body: The Story of Yoga in America

Yoga’s history in America is
longer and richer than even its most devoted practitioners realize. It was
present in Emerson’s New England, and by the turn of the twentieth century
it was fashionable among the leisure class. And yet when Americans first
learned about yoga, what they learned was that it was a dangerous, alien
practice that would corrupt body and soul.
A century later, you can find yoga in gyms, malls, and even hospitals, and
the arrival of a yoga studio in a neighborhood is a signal of
cosmopolitanism. How did it happen?
It did so, Stefanie Syman explains, through a
succession of charismatic yoga teachers, who risked charges of charlatanism
as they promoted yoga in America, and through generations of yoga students,
who were deemed unbalanced or even insane for their efforts. The Subtle
Body tells the stories of these people, including Henry David Thoreau,
Pierre A. Bernard, Margaret Woodrow Wilson, Christopher Isherwood, Sally
Kempton, and Indra Devi.
Stefanie Syman, a literature graduate of Yale,
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 fifteen years.
