Part 3: Appropriation vs Appreciation w/ Mayuri Bhandari
26 JUN 2024 · We continue to unpack the huge topic of appropriation. I personally learned so much from this chat with Mayuri. I love her passion for this and how she makes yoga teaching more about yoga living and challenges us to become more activists, living yoga to bring about more justice and peace in the world.
🔍 Pulling the curtain back on Yoga Festivals
🤩 The problem with fame and popularity of teachers
💸 Where is this money going?!? Mayuri calls out this now 115 billion dollar industry as of 2023 think about what we’re funding
🔥 Brown tokenism and the weirdness of being the only brown person student in the room withwhite teachers either being straight up incorrect or others looking to her for fact checks🤯 Most profound experience of yoga she’s ever seen in the most unexpected situation
⛔ Where modern yoga goes wrong
💣 What to do now knowing all this
