Reclaiming Yoga as a Tool for Liberation

At its core, yoga is a liberation practice. It was never meant to be a fitness routine or a performance. For those who have been marginalized, yoga can be a radical act of reclamation: reclaiming your body, your breath, your dignity, and your right to exist without shrinking.

When you understand the philosophical roots—non-harming, truthfulness, boundaries, self-study—you realize yoga is less about flexibility and more about freedom. And EVERYBODY deserves to know how to access their innate freedom, especially in a world that wants to keep us oppressed.

For people who have been “othered,” yoga offers a path to internal liberation, even when the external world remains challenging.
