Today, we highlight 3 important topics...

1. The trauma of cultural appropriation on Indian people 
2. What is 'decolonizing' mental health from a POC viewpoint 
3. Exploring compassion as a core value

You might be wondering what any of this has to do with yoga? Occasionally, I take a step out of "traditional" or "more-predictable" yoga conversations to bring you topics that will influence your yoga life. This is one such conversation.
