How have the aims and methods of medieval Haṭha Yoga shifted into modern postural yoga as represented by Krishnamacharya and Iyengar? What historical and cultural processes in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries led to these changes?Since we can only use the readings we have covered, I’ve also provided the readings that we covered in the file “Readings.pdf”. Other instructions are also attached in the “Final_Paper” file which include: Content: Avoid summarizing the readings! Engage with the material in a critical and analytical waySources: This is not a research paper. Use relevant class material (readings and videos) and do not resort to outside sources. References: : Monographs (books by a single author) and journal articles: cite your sources inparenthesis, with the last name of the author or translator, year of publication and page number(the year of publication is important because in the course we have readings by the same author,such as Mallinson). An example, (Jain 2015, 109). Edited books (books with essays by differentauthors, like Yoga in Practice… by David G. White): cite the name of the author of the essay, notthe book editor, and the year of publication of the book (Malinar 2012, 70). For primary sources, like the Bhagavad Gītā and Yogasūtra and the Gheranda Samhita indicate the translator,abbreviated title, the verse/passage number(s). Examples, (Stoler Miller, YS I.2; Mallinson G.S.VI.9–11. Add the page number if you have it).
