Weโ€™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. โฃ

This virtual workshop is intended for yoga teachers and students who are tired of sanitized spiritual โ€œstories,โ€ are interested in learning a greater depth about the origins of practice, and having a deeper discussion about the realities of yogaโ€™s journey to the proverbial mat of American consumer culture. โฃ
