Mark Singleton (born 1972) is a scholar of yoga and Senior Research Fellow at SOAS, University of London, where he works on the European Research Council-funded Hatha Yoga Project. He is the author of the widely-read study of modern postural yoga Yoga Body : the Origins of Modern Posture Practice (2010), based on his PhD thesis; it argued that certain posture-based forms of yoga represent, in large part, a radical break from haṭha yoga tradition, with different goals, and an unprecedented emphasis on āsanas. His 2017 book Roots of Yoga is an extensive collection of translations of yoga practice texts. He has written many academic articles and edited three collections of scholarship on yoga.
