  • 소개/요약‘Modern Yoga’, as defined by Elizabeth De Michelis (2004) and as discussed in many academic works on yoga, has been influenced by the English-speaking world and the medium of English. This chapter highlights some general trends that might characterise the history of modern yoga – and, to some extent, meditation – from the late-nineteenth century to the present through global anglophone networks and the medium of the English language. We argue that modern yoga has been substantially influenced by the dominance of English-language presentations of yoga. However, English-language presentations of yoga and meditation have specific characteristics that should not necessarily be assumed to be dominant in other linguistic–cultural contexts. This chapter highlights an area in need of further research: a continued delineating of characteristics of English-language presentations of yoga in particular times and places combined with an outline of what might distinguish these presentations from other linguistic and cultural contexts.
