About this listen

In this conversation, Tamika and Ashley dive into discourse with author, yoga educator and practitioner, Anjali Rao who delves into yoga as a form of embodied resistance, the intersection of academia and practice, and the importance of feminist history in yoga. This conversation traverses the historical and cultural contexts of yoga, exploring the roles of caste, gender, and colonialism in shaping yoga practices and narratives. Tamika, Ashley, and Anjali discuss the importance of feminist perspectives in understanding yoga history, the need for authentic relationships in yoga communities, and the complexities of cultural appropriation versus appreciation. They emphasize the significance of trust and solidarity in addressing these issues and the necessity of acknowledging the contributions of marginalized voices in yoga.
