摘要

瑜伽借鉴了古老的哲学,已成为一种广受欢迎的健康和保健方法。Pratyahara 是瑜伽练习的核心原则,通常被翻译为 "远离感官"。远离感官在帮助瑜伽练习者通过超越世俗找到精神启迪方面起着关键作用。然而,从物质世界抽身并不完全符合当代体位瑜伽行业的参数。本文通过与健康研究相关的立场,探讨了 "pratyahara "的概念起源。作者通过健康话语将生物医学、美学和新自由主义的认识论立场交织在一起,讨论体位瑜伽是如何抵制和复制权力不平衡的。在此过程中,作者强调了瑜伽行业的社会政治紧张局势所反映出的 "pratyahara "的矛盾性。最后,作者认为,瑜伽实现了促进社会变革的哲学特权,因此,"pratyahara "本身有助于解决这种紧张关系。

Mind-Stuff and Withdrawal of the Senses: Toward an Interpretation of Pratyahara in Contemporary Postural Yoga.

Yoga has become a popular health and wellbeing practice that draws on ancient philosophy. Pratyahara is a core tenet of yoga practice and is often translated to mean withdrawal of the senses. Withdrawing from the senses plays a key role in aiding yoga practitioners to find spiritual enlightenment by transcending the worldly. Withdrawing from the material world, however, does not neatly fit within the parameters of the contemporary postural yoga industry. This paper looks at the conceptual origins of pratyahara through stances relevant to health research. The author weaves biomedical, esthetic, and neoliberal onto-epistemological stances through health discourse to discuss how postural yoga both resists and replicates power imbalances. In so doing the author emphasizes the paradoxical nature of pratyahara as it is reflected in socio-political tensions of the yoga industry. To conclude, the author suggests that pratyahara itself can be useful in resolving this tension as yoga fulfills a philosophical prerogative for social change.
