$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:

-Foundational 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

Join us for this 7-week book club to read and discuss a feminist lens on yoga history and the evolution of modern yoga practices. No reading is required before our first meeting on January 7.

Please note there is no meeting on January 14.

This course is eligible for 7 continuing education credits with Yoga Alliance for registered teachers.

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.
