A 16 week ethnographic study of Arcata Yoga Culture was performed in Fall of 2018. To present findings, the poster overviews of the application of one of numerous lens of analysis used in the final ethnography to examine research results. A dualist lens, contrasting the concepts of communalism and individualism was selected for its tangible interpretation of yoga culture specific to Arcata by looking at how people of the community interact and conceptualize yoga. This lens was used in the ethnography to provide a base for the application of additional lens that could potentially giving insight into the role and interpretation of yoga in the general West and its acculturation process.
