7 Week Online Series
Wednesdays, 7:30-8:30pm
January 7th - February 25th (No Class January 14th)
Join us for this 7-week book club to read and discuss a feminist lens on yoga history and the evolution of modern yoga practices.
Anjali Rao's new groundbreaking book tells the stories of women and gender-expansive people who confront caste and gender dominance as a way to highlight the seismic shifts in consciousness about the potential of spiritual teachings for social change.
Topics include:
-Foundational histories of yoga, caste, and Hinduism
-The tensions among yoga, nationalism, anti-colonialism, and Indigeneity
-The impacts and intersections of yoga, gender, caste, and culture
-The impact of patriarchy on bodily expression
-Bhakti as a subversive tool of personal agency and anti-colonial resistance
No reading is required before our first meeting on January 7th. Please note there is no meeting on January 14.
This course is eligible for 7 CEUs with Yoga Alliance for registered teachers.
