Copyvio check

No concerns at all; the quotations featured are short excerpts, relevant and appropriately attributed.

Prose

Like other book GAs, you can make the first section '§ Background and publication history' then also mention the book publisher, page count, whether or not it has e.g. an index, and (if known) the format(s) it was published in.
"Since Elizabeth De Michelis's 2004 A History of Modern Yoga and Mark Singleton's 2010 book Yoga Body" – I would reword this slightly as it seems to imply that only the second one is a book.
Wikilink yoga upon its first mention outside of the lead.
"She gained her bachelor's degree in 2004" > I would specify "She gained her bachelor's degree in the field of study in 2004" or similar.
Ref 3 is currently a 404.
I do not think the § Book parameter is needed; its two subsections can just be sections. The background section is related/relevant to the book anyways as well.
For the start of § Synopsis I would do Selling Yoga to avoid the later redundancy with "the Book".
Does the book specify what Friend did? The current wording is too vague/uninformative and in the wikilinked article does not mention him.
Wikilink ashram.
"Jain illustrates the weaknesses in both types of claim" – I think should be "Jain illustrates the weaknesses in both of these claims" or "both of these types of claims."

Spotcheck

All good, passes on refs 1, 4 and 6.

Thanks for the fun read as always! Anyways, you already know the drill: I have now placed this article on hold to allow for you to make any changes. Please ping me once you are finished so that I can know when to take another look. Also, feel free to ask any questions or refute any of my proposed changes! :) ❧ LunaEatsTuna (talk), proudly editing since 2018 (and just editing since 2017) – posted at 21:37, 14 April 2026 (UTC)
