Welcome to Yoga Culture!

We explore the fun, traditions, controversy & nuances of Yoga Culture.

🎙 Podcast

I’ll soon be launching the Yoga Culture podcast, available on all podcast listening platforms. I will host conversations about the topics here on Substack along with partial transcripts, extra media, resources, and extended interviews. Stay tuned!

Yoga Culture - the story of how yoga got hot

This is the story of yoga culture: what is it, where did it come from, and where is it going? Yoga Culture takes an open-minded critical eye, looking at the good and the bad, the fun and austere, the mainstream and whacky in yoga’s popularity. Will yoga empower us all toward a more ethically-minded and peaceful future or is the modern version of the West a well-marketed lifestyle fad that will fade out with time?
