Racial Literacy Training:
Learn how to bring cultural sensitivity into your Yoga & Mindful Movement Classes
Nicola Harvey
The word 'Yoga' is derived from the Sanskrit root 'Yuj', meaning 'to unite'. It is a spiritual practice, centred around ancient principles and philosophies to bring harmony, compassion, and authenticity into our lives.
Whilst yoga has an enriching foundation, the experiences shared by global majority individuals (Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic) often state incidents of racial bias and feelings of exclusion in yoga spaces.
Racial literacy is a set of practices designed to recognise, respond to and counter all forms of racial discrimination.
