Description

What is cultural appropriation of yoga? Is it about saying namaste in class, Ganesha tattoos and wearing bindis ? Or is it more? I had done an episode about this at the very start of the podcast but was disappointed as the yoga world seems stuck at just the superficial work. It doesn’t help that appropriation is now another trendy thing that you can buy in the yoga world. As many teachers build their careers around just this. Vikram Jeet Singh is back on the podcast to give you an in-depth understanding of why cultural appropriation of yoga is beyond the superficial stuff. We talk about where the real work lies for yoga teachers.This is an episode you don’t want to miss. Episode highlightsWhat is appropriation?Examples of what appropriation can look likeAre there types or degrees of appropriation?What quality should one embody to go into appropriation work?The major issues with appropriation in the yoga worldShould one have to spend money to learn about appropriation?Where should one learn appropriation from?Mistakes to avoidAppropriation work in IndiaSome key takeawaysVikram Jeet Singh’s bio available in our show notes.Join our mailing listWAITLIST - Pranayama Teacher Training 2022Find all the resources mentioned in this episodeConnect with us on Instagram
