Kucinskas writes that Jain describes "contemporary postural yoga" as "a new product that formed through dialogical interactions between Indians and Westerners from the nineteenth century to the present", building in "transnational cultural elements" like military <a href="/wiki/Callisthenics" class="mw-redirect" title="Callisthenics">callisthenics</a> and modern <a href="/wiki/Medicine" title="Medicine">medicine</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Kucinskas2016_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Kucinskas2016-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Mr-yoga-star-pose.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/cc/Mr-yoga-star-pose.jpg/220px-Mr-yoga-star-pose.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="156" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/cc/Mr-yoga-star-pose.jpg/330px-Mr-yoga-star-pose.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/cc/Mr-yoga-star-pose.jpg/440px-Mr-yoga-star-pose.jpg 2x" data-file-width="775" data-file-height="549" /></a><figcaption>In reviewer Kimberley J.

Pingatore,<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> reviewing the book for <i><a href="/wiki/Religion_(journal)" title="Religion (journal)">Religion</a></i>, writes that Jain "challenges the notion that all yogas exist as part of a monolithic, unbroken lineage... [and] convincingly locates [modern postural yoga]'s recent popularization in Europe and the United States as part of capitalist consumer culture", arguing that Jain then makes use of this consumer centre of gravity to attack the argument that this yoga belongs to non-Westerners. Pingatore finds Jain's first two chapters "brilliantly" summarize the research of the major scholars of yoga including <a href="/wiki/David_Gordon_White" title="David Gordon White">David Gordon White</a>, <a href="/wiki/Joseph_Alter" title="Joseph Alter">Joseph Alter</a>, Christopher Key Chapple, <a href="/wiki/Mark_Singleton_(yoga_teacher)" class="mw-redirect" title="Mark Singleton (yoga teacher)">Mark Singleton</a>, Sarah Strauss, <a href="/wiki/Elizabeth_De_Michelis" class="mw-redirect" title="Elizabeth De Michelis">Elizabeth De Michelis</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Hugh_Urban" title="Hugh Urban">Hugh Urban</a>. Pingatore argues, too, that Jain "ferociously" deconstructs the East/West, Us/Them dichotomised understanding, in Chapter 3 showing that modern yoga systems grew "in response to transnational [consumer] cultural developments". On the other hand, Pingatore observes that while Jain argues that modern yoga defies attempts at definition or regulation, and disagrees that it is spiritual, she claims that it is a "body of religious practice". Pingatore remarks the absence of gender in Jain's account, writing that this is surprising given that <a href="/wiki/Yoga_for_women" title="Yoga for women">yoga practitioners are predominantly
