Radicalizing Your Yoga Practice to Create a Just World
Shambhala Publications11/02/2021Pages: 224Size: 5.25 x 8ISBN: 9781645470489DetailsExplore the deeply transformational practice of yoga as a way to create a world that is more just for all. Drawing from yoga philosophy—particularly the wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita, an ancient yogic text that calls us to see the divinity within all and live our dharma for the collective good—Skill in Action urges us to change the way we are living and being, to think about how our actions affect others, and to respond to the persistent call for justice for all.
Michelle Cassandra Johnson inspires us to remember our shared humanity and take action in solidarity with those who are most marginalized by the industry of wellness and yoga—whether that manifests as activism, deepening our awareness of self, understanding more about our cultural and political contexts, or changing our relationships with others. This revised and expanded edition offers:- A look at how the yamas and niyamas—the ethical precepts of yoga—can be studied in order to create a more just world;
- A clear view on how power and privilege inform the yoga industry;
- Ideas on how to integrate justice into teaching the eight limbs of yoga;
- Ways to support people as they move through their resistance and discomfort in the face of injustice;
- An explanation of actionable love and the role of compassion in our social change work;
- A clear call to remember our role as teachers and change-makers;
- Potent tools and practices to both ground and inspire us—such as journaling prompts, pranayama exercises, meditations, and rituals.
