I hesitate to write “yoga community” as is written in so many - TopicsExpress



          

I hesitate to write “yoga community” as is written in so many books, films, and articles about yoga. I hesitate, because this is coded language—who do we imagine in our minds when we say “yoga community”? Do we imagine queer people with hot pink spandex, asymmetrical haircuts and political t-shirts? Do we imagine disabled people who limp or roll into a classroom, people who use crutches, people with any number of fingers, toes, or limbs? Do we imagine raucous young people of color wearing jeans and colorful sneakers on their mat? Do we imagine a room full of South Asian American practitioners, where the class is taught in Hindi?
