Liberating Yoga

World Religions

“With poise and clarity, Harpinder reveals how the yoga industry has both failed to take into account populations too often excluded from the banner of mainstream enlightenment and failed to consider the issues that impact South Asian practitioners. Throughout, she thoughtfully and deliberately takes mainstream yoga to task. Still, it is also an invitation. For every case in which she highlights problematic practices, she offers guidance on how to do better. My wish is for every non-South Asian who calls themselves a yoga practitioner (as I do) will read this book in a state of hushed and humble respect.”
