On Sunday, June 6th, the TSTC social justice sangha got together for the first time since crafting our social justice statement, to begin talking about Susanna Barkataki's book Embrace Yoga's Roots: Courageous Ways to Deepen Your Practice. It was a wide-ranging discussion that ended with this provocative question posed by Lauren Borchard: Should I be teaching yoga, and if yes, is what I am teaching yoga?
If you're interested in this question and its possible answers, join us on Wednesday, July 14th at 7 p.m. for a revolutionary sangha in honor of Bastille Day as we delve deeper into the thorny issue of cultural appropriation in yoga and challenge each other to consider how our practices as students and teachers can serve the social justice movement.
