Over the past 150 years yoga philosophy and asana practices have circulated to the U.S. and been incorporated into various modern dance techniques. Aspects of yoga are present in the dance community and practice through posture exercises in warm-ups, approaches to the creative process of making choreography utilizing theories of space, and performance philosophies through understanding of the relationship of the mind, self, body, and breath. Yoga philosophy and asana practice worked alongside and discreetly contributed to the development of modern dance in the U.S. beginning with dancers and choreographers in the early 1900s and continue in contemporary practice today. This dissertation re-imagines modern dance as transnational phenomenon through the lens of yoga. The methodology utilized for this examination is an interdisciplinary approach that includes research of dance literature, film, and performance practice to trace the circulation of ideas and exchange in these two practices and points of contact and acculturation between artists.
