Decolonising Yoga

If you didn’t know already, Yoga originates from India (about 5000 yrs ago) and there are millions of South Asians in Australia. So something just didn’t add up. Where were all the South Asian yoga teachers? Why was it that I was being taught by non-South Asian people about my heritage and culture? It took me a while to get comfortable with it and even today, when a teacher ignorantly culturally appropriates Indian culture in the middle of a class, my blood boils.
