This was a live recording of an online panel session via Zoom celebrating the end of the The Haṭha Yoga Project on the 7th October 2020 for the SOAS Centre of Yoga Studies. See below for details.
The Haṭha Yoga Project (HYP) is a five-year research project funded by the European Research Council and based at SOAS, University of London. As it comes to an end, we are bringing the SOAS scholars involved together for a panel to share their findings and discuss them with the audience. Their work has been groundbreaking, transforming our understanding of the history of physical yoga practice through the study of texts on yoga, depictions in sculpture (especially temple art) and fieldwork among modern practitioners in South Asia. The project team consists of four researchers based at SOAS and two at the École française d’Extrême Orient, Pondicherry.
Between them the team have produced several Critical Editions and Annotated Translations of Sanskrit Texts on Haṭhayoga alongside a number of articles, and are in the process of publishing monographs on their individual areas of research. They also curated the recent "Embodied Liberation" exhibition at the Brunei Gallery, SOAS (in collaboration with Jacqueline Hargreaves of The Luminescent).
We are delighted to be welcoming Dr James Mallinson, Dr Mark Singleton, Dr Jason Birch and Dr Daniela Bevilacqua to this online panel, which will be chaired by Dr Suzanne Newcombe, Open University and Inform. We will hear a summary from each speaker of their research before opening up to questions.
