DEI = Dharma. Ekatvam. Ishvarapranidhana. It’s such a good framing.. puts things into perspective.

Thank you. Yoga traditions do speak deeply about unity and responsibility. My hope is that, as a community, if we stay rooted in yoga’s own framework, we may be better able to respond to modern issues rather than trying to fit yoga into newer external lenses.

Thank you Trupti for so eloquently explaining why it feels wrong for me (and creates inner struggle for me) to “brand” and “niche” yoga.

Thank you, Cathy. I think many of us are in the same boat. Before it sinks completely, perhaps we can still slowly turn it around. Instead of continuing to put band-aids on it, maybe there is a way forward that honors both the seeker and the one offering the practice.
