Description
The book is structured around the Sanskrit roots of yoga: TAPAS, AHIMSA, ASTEYA, SATYA. The meanings are explored in alignment with the social justice work presented.
Each chapter closes with a yoga or meditation practice or journaling activity, to embody deeper understanding and work through any discomfort and issues that may arise. Diversity and inclusion within the wellness industry has been increasingly under the spotlight. This book responds to the appetite for guidance on how we actively create change. The mission of Yoga as Resistance is to educate and empower yoga practitioners and professionals to take action in aligning their practice on the mat with their lives off the mat.

Lauren B, Reviewer
Thanks to NetGalley for this ARC! I have always heard/known/lightly practiced Yoga, but I have never really been comfortable with the practice as I always understood a lot of the practice seen today in the Western world to be appropriation rather than a continuation of the actual practice. This book helped me learn more about Yoga and how to actually practice while keeping in mind the history and impact I have in this space as a white woman. This book was written as a resistance to the white supremacist/colonizer practice of Yoga as it stands today in the Western World and I really appreciate that I have gotten to learn and grow with this book and its teachings.
