This workshop explores cultural appropriation, decolonisation, and positionality within contemporary yoga. Through discussion, embodied reflection, and practice, we’ll look at how yoga is taught and shared in Western contexts, and what it means to practise and teach more consciously and ethically.
The session will include practical examples from yoga spaces, reflection on identity, power, and privilege, and an embodied approach to exploring these themes through the nervous system, sound, and practice. The intention is not to reach fixed answers or to induce guilt, but to support awareness, responsibility, and care in teaching.
This workshop is discussion-led, reflective, and experiential, and is open to yoga teachers and trainees interested in engaging with yoga’s social and cultural context.
Jasminder Bahia is a yoga teacher and teacher trainer with over 14 years’ experience, and has been practising yoga for over 25 years. She is also a psychologist specialising in racialised trauma, with a focus on body–mind–spirit approaches to healing.
Her work brings together yoga philosophy, Yoga Nidra, embodied practice, and decolonial perspectives, and she teaches on the Black African and Asian Therapy Network’s Decolonising Therapy training. Jasminder is the founder of Bahia Yoga and works at the intersection of yoga, psychology, and social context.
