Neoliberal healthism and women’s entrepreneurial subjectivities in yoga
Women entrepreneurs have long encountered the neoliberal expectation to perform as ideal subjects by exhibiting an enterprising femininity.

The paradox draws attention to the significance of context in workers' experienc…

In this paper, we seek to offer insights into this relationsh…
