𝘏𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘔𝘰𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘯 𝘠𝘰𝘨𝘢 - A discussion of Yoga's historical origins, key texts and contributors, and the social movements by which Yoga became a phenomenon in the cultural life of America and the West. We’ll also discuss how dominant culture (via colonialism, imperialism, neoliberal capitalism, racism, medicalization of wellness, etc.) is constructed specifically to create a power imbalance within yoga between those with Western hegemonic power and those of its origins and other historically marginalized communities. ⁣
⁣
This virtual workshop is intended for yoga teachers and students who are tired of sanitized spiritual “stories,” are interested in learning a greater depth about the origins of practice, and having a deeper discussion about the realities of yoga’s journey to the proverbial mat of American consumer culture. ⁣
