Episode 12
What role do white yoga teachers play in shifting the cultural landscape inside of yoga spaces to one of equity, and liberation for all?
Michelle Johnson and I unpack this question, and define terms that you need to know like:
- White Supremacy
- Privilege
- Oppression
- Racism
- Liberation
- Intersectionality
We also cover:
- How yoga philosophy calls us to create justice and liberation for all
- Do white people know? Or are we just not willing to break down a system we benefit from?
- Why remaining neutral in the name of equanimity causes deep harm
- Spiritual bypassing in the yoga community
- The role that white yoga teachers can play in creating a just yoga landscape
- Resourcing marginalised people to get where they want to go
- Understanding equity
- Why inclusion is not enough
- Why dismantling racism is messy, and hard, and why we have to do it anyway
- What a just an equitable yoga landscape actually looks like
- Being in relationship with the communities that the yoga industry has marginalised
- Committing to the process of dismantling racism for the long haul
