This conversation has been a long time coming for all of us who are navigating both wellness practice and social justice. Because it is not enough to just do the right thing in this moment, we have to go back to the roots to heal and repair what has been broken and violated. And we have with us today a true teacher in that work.
Susanna Barkataki is an Indian yoga practitioner, teacher, and now author of the recent book Embrace Yoga’s Roots: Courageous Ways to Deepen Your Yoga Practice.
In this episode, we talk about how to personally and collectively navigate the violent history of colonization and appropriation, how to show up for each other in solidarity and how to live into the wisdom of spiritual practice. This conversation gave me so much to reflect on and reckon with around what it means to truly embrace and embody this practice and live your life according to its values.
And tune in to the end because Susanna gives us the gift of the Sacred Pause - a practice and gesture that can help us meet this moment and breathe into the next with grace and courage
