How can we stand up for social justice when we don’t understand or empathize with the lives of people who may be outside our box? It is the moral responsibility of every person who finds themselves in any position of power or privilege to take into account the needs and concerns of the marginalized. Please just follow these amazing yogis for a little while and listen before commenting. Get into their space, let them into your heart. Send me a DM or email if you have someone to recommend for me to feature.

Many of you see me a “white” yoga teacher. Yet I have never considered myself white. It took me nearly 40 years to understand my own racial identity. After much searching I came to the conclusion that I am a white-passing multi-racial person (Japanese, Scottish). While I have often felt the otherness that many non-white people feel in the U.S., never once have I worried that the color my skin would endanger my life. My grandfather and mother faced those threats, but I never have because, as I said above, I am white-passing. My story illustrates the definition of white privilege and I have benefited from this in numerous ways throughout my life.

It can be difficult to see the connection between social justice and our daily yoga practice. But, if you look into Patañjal’s Yoga Sutras, there is clear direction for adhering to ahimsa for all beings as part of the great vow advised for all serious spiritual practitioners. Along these lines, it becomes crucial for yogis to unite and stand for non-harming of all beings. There is no ostracism intended, much the opposite. We hope to unite all yogis, of all ethnicities, religions, shapes, sizes and ages in the pursuit of true liberation for all beings.
