$90.00 Yoga As Embodied Resistance Book Club
Anjali Rao's new groundbreaking book tells the stories of women and
gender-expansive people who confront caste and gender dominance as a way
to highlight the seismic shifts in consciousness about the potential of
spiritual teachings for social change.
Topics include:

histories of yoga, caste, and Hinduism
-The tensions among yoga,
nationalism, anti-colonialism, and Indigeneity
-The impacts and
intersections of yoga, gender, caste, and culture
-The impact of
patriarchy on bodily expression
-Bhakti as a subversive tool of personal
agency and anti-colonial resistance

Tara Lemerise
Tara Lemerise teaches the time-honored philosophy and practice of yoga
in an accessible and joyful way. Registered with Yoga Alliance at
E-RYT-200/E-RYT-500, Tara has been teaching yoga philosophy, movement,
and meditation since 2005. She has over 9,000 hours of teaching
experience.
According to Tara, there is nothing to “fix” with yoga.
Instead, there are only more opportunities to understand and be more
fully present to our separate and together experiences. She is known for
offering clear and helpful instruction to students at all levels and
makes the wisdom of yoga feel relevant and relatable.
Tara’s classes
include action-based instructions in asana that are a result of study of
anatomy, kinesiology and creative movement. In addition, Tara provides
plenty of opportunities for stillness and contemplation in her classes,
which are deeply influenced by her study and practice of Restorative
Yoga.
