Cultural Appropriation

Yesterday, the Guardian published an article about the issue of cultural appropriation and inclusivity in the yoga industry: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2022/dec/12/cultural-appropriation-discussion-builds-over-western-yoga-industry

For those of you who participated in the Rising Moon Teacher Training and Yoga Study I led a couple of years ago this will be familiar stuff, but it’s worth revisiting and considering in your own practice. While the article presents an incomplete discussion of these issues, it does prompt introspection about our own relationships to yoga, the yoga industry as a whole, and the general practice of yoga in the modern western world.
