This seems like the antithesis of what yoga actually is, but who am I? I’m just some schmuck with a yoga app downloaded on my phone that I haven’t used in probably a year.

put me down in the column “team no one”

I’m the chick in the back wearing pajama pants and whatever t-shirt was handy. Yoga couture is hilariously awful.

Seriously! Who pays that much for workout gear?? Or go to TJMaxx and get Nike or Reebok for 75% off retail price. And none fo the stupid drama!

This Indian would like this story filed to “white people ruin everything.”

**clears throat, adjusts glasses** Actually, it was Iyengar’s teacher, Krishnamacharya, who catalyzed Western yoga as we understand it (which btw is not what he taught) via his male students B.K.S. Iyengar, K. Pattahbi Jois, father of ashtanga yoga, and T.K.V. Desikachar, father of viniyoga. There was also a woman who…

None of what you wrote is true or correct. Please don’t further muddy the waters.

Meanwhile, us South Asian people are out here in whatever old clothes feel most comfortable asking, “yes, what even is yoga anymore?”

Whenever any undergrad came in talking about their yoga class, he would grill them relentlessly on Hinduism and Indian spiritual culture, much to…

And is being monetized by companies headed by wealthy white men.

I’ll be on whichever side is full of the nonwhite people these annoying white people stole yoga from.

This lawsuit sounds like a real... stretch.

Fess up, was this article an excuse to trawl instagram for hot yoga instructor pics/yoga people doing goofy poses on rocks with the gravest possible faces?

This isn’t entirely related, but it’s funny how the “yoga community” doesn’t have one single Indian. I hate that it’s become so associated with upper middle class white women and their “wellness” moment.

Finally, a beef where EVERYONE is corny as hell. Thanks, yoga!

Oh look. All the pro-Alo folks are thin. Shocking. I’ll stick to my Old Navy shit, thanks. I’m only sweating in them.

Oh yeah, Brian grew up on the rez and everything. He’s been very open about it, and about how white passing he is.

It’s literally one of the first things Trixie says about herself in season 7...before the “fashion show” challenge, while describing her inspiration behind the Trixie character.

I was SHOOK that only Thorgy voted for Shan. I mean, I knew she was unpopular because she had kicked off so many queens (definitely a weakness in the process, Ru — you’re actually penalizing consistency) but I can’t believe the kicked off queens could honestly say she didn’t deserve to lip sync.

Trixie isn’t white. Just saying. She may pass as white, but is half Ojibwe.
