About the Facilitator:
Indu Vashist is a yoga teacher, anti-racist activist, and trained historian.
In Indu's Words: "We will delve into the history of asana, the physical practice of yoga. We will look at how yogis have always experimented and how to keep innovating ethically. We will trace how modern postural practice made its way around the globe. Asana may not be as old as you think, but its short history is full of cosmopolitan intrigue. Practices that span centuries adapt to new findings, environmental conditions, preferences, etc. We will look at how these movements have changed over time, moved over continents and continue to live a life of their own. This workshop will be a deep dive into contemporary yoga debates about cultural appropriation in the west and the right wing appropriation in India."
