| Abstract: | Rather like psychotherapy, yoga is a demanding practice that (amongst other things) encourages its devotees to think about the complex interdependence of body and mind. This paper considers how the real world relationships in the yoga room provoke, or crystallize, a variety of developmental crises. In short, how the possibility of bodily transformation, the acquisition of flexibility, necessitates a thoroughgoing negotiation with internal states and objects.
