Yoga Teach-In: Interrupting Omwashing and Zionism’s Weaponization of Yoga
January 29, 2024 @ 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm EST
This Yoga Teach-In calls on yoga teachers and practitioners to deepen their awareness of and solidarity with Palestinian resistance to Israeli occupation and the genocide in Gaza by anchoring their yoga practice in a call for a ceasefire and an end to settler colonial apartheid.
The workshop has a 3-fold purpose. Attendees can expect to:
1) Deepen awareness of how Zionism and far-right military and law enforcement institutions around the globe weaponize yoga to advance ethnonational and colonial agendas against the Palestinian people;
2) Learn how yoga studios and practitioners, including those who call for “peace & love” and neutrality, are complicit in using yoga to normalize colonization and participate in spiritual bypassing; and
3) Strategize on how yogis and yoga communities can take action and build long-haul resilience to interrupt Zionism and “omwashing;” and organize our yoga practice in solidarity with Palestinian resistance and freedom.
