Given that yoga is not a native cultural offering for many of us engaging in the practice, it is important to understand its origins and intentions so that we can continue to use it with respect and positive intentions. Paying homage to the practice of yoga and its lineage, as well as acknowledging the ways in Western culture it has been used to enact white supremacy, capitalism, patriarchy, and oppression, are significant to avoid cultural appropriation.

At TCC we strive to honor yoga origins and principles in our practices.
