White people can’t teach yoga:

And I was thinking about reading the Koran. But I would have to do so in English, which is cultural appropriation to the max.

So I guess I won't be doing that now.

From the article:

Student federation president Romeo Ahimakin said the yoga program was not canceled because of a complaint. Rather, the program was suspended while students were consulted “to make it better, more accessible and more inclusive to certain groups of people that feel left out in yoga-like spaces. ... We are trying to have those sessions done in a way in which students are aware of where the spiritual and cultural aspects come from, so that these sessions are done in a respectful manner.”

The day yoga needs a safe space is the day parody meets reality. That day has come.

Me talking:

I just watched the Safe Space South Park episode on another thread.
