But when she started visiting white-dominated studios outside her community, she says she felt [...]

Well, there's her problem right there! She should have "stayed in her lane" and not strayed into environmental where Whites outnumbered "her kind" and/or "set the tone."

Me and the other good ol' boys in the Klan feel the same way when we accidentally venture into territory where erstwhile minorities dominate.

Is it really necessary that I point out that I'm being sarcastic here?

Her REAL mistake? "She felt ..." What she is feeling is namely her own unconscious racism.

Regards,

Look...I hate white women too.

But I hate them for the RIGHT reasons.

How does a white person practicing Westernized yoga interfere with a non-white person practicing his culture’s yoga?

I kind of agree with some of the sentiments of the article actually.

But I’m not a yoga fan personally. Pilates and ballet for me. ❤️

Good lord how silly

It's exercise stretching and muscle working....kegel, upper buttocks, triceps, lung and diaphragm muscles etc

It's zen a bit

Man if done with discipline and love , it makes best body a woman can have

Still soft and feminine supple yet toned and velvet to the caress

Truly lovely....I adore a nice yoga body

Yoga doesn't destroy the breasts....

Like weight lifting or excessive running does

The spiritual stuff is so much bullshit

My wife is 56....her 30 year old body is genetics and diligent yoga 25 years....

This woman is 72....lifetime yoga ...

You know, there was a time when liberals extolled other cultures. In the the 90s it was “Did you learn anything about their culture?” and on and on. My how times have changed. (In addition, there was a time when liberals hated businesses and there was even a the Campaign Finance Bill that was signed because of it, and now take a look, its all woke and suits their purposes.)

Ok, take back your Indian yoga.

We will take back our software and computer industry that’s been co-opted by Indian scumbags.

Fair trade.

"It gave me a little bit of a reprieve from the really, really negative voice that was constantly going off in my head telling me that I was too fat, that I was too dark."

Just stop using the fat dark term "Indian" and confuse white people instead with the thin light term "South Asian".
