Working in Yoga

I'm Every Woman. A Feminist Resistance and Yoga Deep Dive with Anjali Rao


Listen Later

What if yoga history forgot half the story? In this episode, we dive into the missing voices of women, the power of everyday acts of resistance, and why who tells the tale of yoga matters just as much as the practice itself. Spoiler: every pebble counts, and radical love is the real revolution. 💥🧘‍♀️

🔑 Key Takeaways

Who tells history matters. When yoga’s history is mostly written by white men, women’s contributions disappear—but they’ve always been here.

Practitioner vs. scholar perspectives. Yoga histories told by scholars may miss the lived depth that practitioner-first writers bring.

Exceptionalism skews narratives. Everyday people, not just “great leaders,” shape yoga and social change.

Change happens in quiet moments. Real transformation often comes from behind-the-scenes work and small acts of care.

Every pebble counts. Small, consistent gestures of radical love build a more just and beautiful world.
