- More about Transnational Yoga at Work: Spiritual Tourism and Its Blind Spots
Transnational Yoga at Work explores the spiritual tourism and blind spots of a transnational yoga institution, highlighting the experiences of Indian wageworkers and international practitioners. It challenges the vision of peace in the institution, which obscures the important but seemingly peripheral others of its self-conception. Through in-depth ethnographic analysis, the book explores the processes through which global spiritual movements can have peace front and center in their vision while condoning and perpetuating cycles of injustice and social inequality.

Transnational Yoga at Work: Spiritual Tourism and Its Blind Spots is an ethnography that delves into the lives of local wageworkers in the Indian branches of a transnational yoga institution, as well as yoga practitioners and spiritual tourists who seek peace through yoga. The book explores the processes through which global spiritual movements can prioritize peace in their vision while condoning and perpetuating cycles of injustice and social inequality that form the foundation of our global economy. The author privileges the experiences and hardships faced by Indian wageworkers, particularly women, while also offering a sympathetic portrayal of international yoga practitioners and the complex patterns of work and worship central to a global mission. The book challenges the notion that yoga offers health, vitality, and relief from depression through control of body and breath, highlighting the partial vision that obscures the important but seemingly peripheral others of its self-conception. Through in-depth ethnographic analysis, the book explores the ways in which global spiritual movements can have peace front and center in their vision while condoning and perpetuating cycles of injustice and social inequality that form the critical and problematic foundations of our global economy.
