Join this informal, deep and hearty conversation between Ananda Balayogi Bhavanani and Indu Arora on what is the meaning, impact and solution of cultural appropriation in Yoga.

If you have pressing questions that have not been answered yet, and wish for them to be included in the session submit them here.
Don’t let fear and ignorance get the best of you. If Yoga is your calling, then let us have this much needed conversation. Educate and move forward with a renewed, even more firm determination. Learn all that is important, empowering and crucial about cultural appropriation versus appreciation. Learn in the context of Yamas and Niyamas about Cultural Appropriation.
It is our hope that this will serve as a clear, empowering and supportive guideline for you to live, love and share your Yoga in ways that are authentic, respectful and informed.
