Summary, Etc.  

요약As yoga was popularized in the United States after the 1960s, processes of professionalization, cultural appropriation, and commodification have led to a secularization of the practice, transforming what once was a spiritual tradition into a fitness industry worth over $16.8 billion. Seeking to unsettle constructions of authenticity in the practice, I investigate: How have practitioners and the yoga industry constructed an "authentic" yoga identity at various social and historical moments? I trace the development of a field of yoga in North America and ensuing contestation as the yoga industry developed in the twenty-first century. In response to the growing power of the yoga-industrial complex, a coalition of body positive activists have used new media technologies to actively resist dominant constructions of a stereotypical "authentic" yoga body. Activists reconstruct what it means to be an "authentic" practitioner, revitalizing spiritual yoga practices in alignment with intersectional feminist ideologies. However, despite initial successes, the body positivity movement has in turn been co-opted by industry actors, reflecting an ongoing struggle for control over meanings of the practice and what it means to be an "authentic" practitioner.
