Agree, đŸ‘ŽđŸ» on urban sadhu (formerly Jivamukti). They’d probably say they are traditional vs workout or gym yoga. But what a lot of ego for “traditional” yoga lol. Feels outdated now, and I don’t mean outdated from traditional or Indian roots, outdated from a white Boomer interpretation of those roots.

Yes! And the kicker is the fact they don’t seem to have any POC as instructors whatsoever. I looked up their IG page, run by Austin I believe, and one of the posts says in all caps, “Eating meat is white supremacy.” These guys are delusional.

Gonna counter my extreme dislike of this studio with more praise for Asana Soul, whose instructors are from all walks of life, extremely diverse, and practice yoga with great expertise and care. Celeste, the owner, is a remarkable woman and I just can’t get enough of everything and everyone she welcomes into the studio.
