Zoey is joined by trailblazing yoga leader and visionary, Susanna Barkataki. Susanna is an Indian teacher building bridges in the West, best known for her work in decolonizing and embracing the roots of yoga. She founded Ignite Institute for Yogic Leadership and Social Change to train students in using authentic spiritual tools to create positive social change. She’s also the author of an international bestselling book, Embrace Yoga’s Roots: Courageous Ways to Deepen Your Yoga Practice and she runs 200/300 Embody Yoga’s Roots Yoga Teacher Training programs which take place to change the face of yoga and the wellness landscape by centering accessible, trauma informed practices for folks from diverse backgrounds left out of wellness.
Zoey and Susanna discuss cultural appropriation, how modern yoga practices can cause harm and ways to combat it as a practitioner or partaker, how commercialization of eastern practices impacts the authenticity and roots of yoga, systemic shifts and representation challenges within the yoga community, her own personal experiences with discrimination, incorporating yoga for personal and societal well-being, and so much more.
