Embrace Yoga's Roots: Courageous Ways to Deepen Your Yoga Practice by Susanna Barkataki

Susanna Barkataki invites yoga students and teachers to consider the cultural roots and ethical responsibilities of their practice. She examines appropriation, exclusion and the ways modern yoga can lose contact with the communities and traditions from which it developed.

A four-stage framework encourages reflection and concrete changes toward respectful participation. With a foreword by Sonali Fiske, the book addresses how yoga is taught, shared and lived, rather than simply adding another sequence of physical poses.
