The making of American Catholicism: regional culture and the Catholic experience

Yoga, so it makes sense that the study is a game of hermeneutics and not a scientific investigation of how cognition functions, which works to Ciołkosz’s advantage in demystifying how religio-philosophical concepts from Pātañjalayoga are interpreted in Viniyoga, Iyengar Yoga, and Ashtanga Yoga. Thinking in Āsana is a sophisticated and coherent account of how yoga practice and philosophy interconnect, which will be an invigorating read for both scholars and practitioners alike. Beyond the academy, it will be a valuable addition to teacher training programmes on yoga, inviting dialogue on how philosophical metaphors are deconstructed in praxis. The productive combination of linguistics and kinaesthetics is a novel addition to current scholarship on yoga in the humanities and will likely become an influential text in shaping future interdisciplinary studies, particularly in the context of bridging the gap between biology and sociology, science and philosophy, scholars and practitioners. Let us hope that yogins read between the lines of the metaphors, and do not start devouring their brains.
