This chapter explores the notion of the ‘scholar-practitioner’ of yoga. It investigates how scholars who take yoga as a subject of their academic work situate themselves with regard to its practice(s), and examines the degree to which their practice of yoga informs their scholarly work and vice versa. It also examines how insider status is negotiated in academic environments and thereby offers a frame for examining the rapidly expanding field of yoga studies and the variety of disciplinary and personal positions that can be deployed within it.
