Produktinformationen zu „Decolonizing Yoga: from Critical to Cosmic Consciousness (ePub)“
This book was written for diasporic South Asian women who have experienced microaggression or discrimination in modern yoga spaces in Canada or abroad.
Punam Mehta, Ph.D. reveals how the yoga movement in Canada has been harmful to yoga's grounding in Jain history, to South Asian social and cultural development, and to Jain diasporic women born and raised in Canada.
She argues that marginalized women could recenter themselves by practicing yoga to overcome discrimination based on their race, gender, sexuality, class, and/or abilities within the context of today's culture.
The author seeks to answer questions such as:
. What is the theoretical foundation of feminist-informed yoga in contemporary culture?
. How can a feminist-informed yoga be applied as a healing approach to marginalized women?
. How can contemporary yoga offer simple ways for marginalized women to feel good about themselves?
The author highlights the removal of Canadian-born Jain mothers and more generally, South Asian mothers who face systemic racism in yoga studios. She also reveals how yoga, practiced in the Jain way of life, offers a holistic approach to well-being and spiritual health.
