White women co-opted pandemic yoga. Now, South Asian instructors are taking it back.

Did you hear? We're celebrating two wins in one week!

1) Guessing the h8ers who didn't like "White Women Killed Yoga" also won't like this fabulous article called "White women co-opted pandemic yoga. Now, South Asian instructors are taking it back." Honored to be featured alongside the inspirations that are Melissa and Divya. The pandemic has absolutely changed how I share my practice and now look where we are with Tejal Yoga!

⭐️ A space that authentically honours the entirety of yoga
⭐️ A celebration of the South Asian voices thats share this practice
⭐️ Space for true connection and building relationships
⭐️ A thriving community that has grown to be powerful

Couldn't be prouder of what we're creating, here's to lifting each other up.

2) Just days ago, we hit 19k followers and then a few days later hit 20K! We celebrate with a reminder of Tejal Yoga's Values...

🔑 Shared Leadership
🔑 Decolonized Wellness
🔑 People Focused
🔑 Justice Driven

Spotlight on People Focused
Tejal Yoga is fueled by you, our community!
We practice the value of being people focused by building community through invitational sharing, personal engagement, feedback and more!

How does this show up?
- Classes are framed in a way that allows space for sharing through check in’s, questions, and discussion before or after class
- Personalized emails and offers based on your interest and your unique circumstance
- You get a say in TY programming through requests of continuous feedback.

An Ask for you:
Our community has members paying in at all levels and there are people who cannot pay for memberships. So we’re asking you to fund one.It’s easy: click here and choose how you’d like to support - Venmo, Paypal or gift a membership. In the notes of any option, be sure to leave a note stating ‘Gift for XX Months’. We’ll start and stop any membership for you.

We've been able to fund both limited month memberships and pwyc subsidies on class packs from our 17K and 18K posts!

Are you ready to contribute to accessible wellness through yoga? We thought so ;)

Warmly,

Tejal
