Every time I make a yoga reading list I have to do a background check first. That’s just the reality of the yoga world we inherited at the intersection of colonialism, white supremacy, and patriarchy.⁠ ⁠ Where abuse and cover-up have been protected for decades, often inside the very lineages that gave us the texts we maybe used to love, but can no longer look at 👀⁠ ⁠ These are some of the books that I assign in my YTT’s, and that shape my understanding of yoga as a practice of liberation from South Asian and Black authors. ⁠ ⁠ People like @acharyashunya @harpindermannyoga @adriennemareebrown @dalitdiva @su9nah @foundspaceyoga and more whose work I trust and whose values and lives I can stand behind. This is what it looks like to take decolonization seriously all the way to your bookshelf. ⁠ ⁠ Part 1: roots, liberation and decolonization.⁠ ⁠Share with a yoga studio and yoga lover you know.⁠ ⁠ Comment “BOOK LIST” and I’ll send it over - hyperlinked and from a shop where you’ll support a Black Owned Bookstore & scholarships in yoga 🔥 ⁠ ⁠ Follow @susannabarkataki for more thought provoking yoga content⁠. ⁠ Im a former English teacher who loves books and just won a Gold Nautilus Award 2026 for my most recent book. So yeah I definitely want to bring yoga reading back 🎉⁠ If you want to join a yoga & social justice book club and training with me comment “CLUB”⁠ ⁠ And comment to get this book list. ⁠ No email needed just the clickable list. ⁠ ⁠ And yea there’s lots more where this comes from. ⁠ Stay tuned for part 2⁠ ⁠ #yogabooks #letsbringyogareadingback #embraceyogasroots #igniteyouryoga #bookclub⁠

There’s a difference between teaching yoga, and teaching yoga with roots 🔥 Many yoga teacher trainings will teach you how to sequence a class. But they won’t teach you why the practice exists. Who it comes from and why, it’s radical engaged history. How to hold it with integrity. Knowing how to create belonging for the communities most harmed by extractive wellness spaces. Having language for the hard conversations, like cultural appropriation, erasing gender binaries, decolonizing yoga so you speak up and know what to say. Understanding the philosophical lineage, not just the poses. Learning and teaching yoga to meet this world, this moment. You’ll get award winning training, small caucus group and 1:1 support to become the yoga leader you are meant to be. Community that’s unmatched. Learn from incredible faculty @mxpujasingh @arturosurfs @harpindermannyoga @transgressivemedicine @transcending_trauma_with_yoga @allihopayoga @foundspaceyoga @tejalyoga @tina_strawn_life @su9ah @mslindalopes @ignitebewell @susannabarkataki​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ This community is what we build in Embody Yoga’s Roots YTT300. If you’re ready to advance your practice and lead with integrity comment YTT I’ll send you the details. 🔥🙏🏽 #yogateachertraining #authenticyoga #ytt300

Taking YTT 300 with Susanna Barkataki completely changed the way I show up in relationship to yoga and how I guide this practice. It became a doorway back to my ancestral wisdom, a reclamation of my roots, and a deeper trust in my own gifts and voice as a teacher. It’s been such an empowering journey, and for the last several years, I’ve had the honor of mentoring and supporting so many students through this training. If you’ve been wanting to deepen your personal practice, honor yoga’s roots, and learn to teach in a way that is rooted in integrity, wisdom, and honors your own lived experience, this training is truly special.

Yoga is liberation and we need to practice its depths now more than ever. For folks of the global majority, BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and those from marginalized communities: Yoga has always been a tool for survival, reclamation, and healing. This is your space to deepen without apology, honor yoga’s roots, and lead in a way that reflects your truth. For allies and those with privilege: Yoga calls you to more than personal practice, it calls you to responsibility, integrity, and action. This is a space to unlearn, to listen, and to commit to honoring yoga’s depth in real ways. My friend Susanna Barkataki @susannabarkataki is offering a powerful, online yoga training that embodies this purpose. I’ll be teaching a workshop inside Embody Yoga’s Roots YTT 300: Ignite Integrity, Celebrate Diversity, and Embody Yogic Leadership. This is more than just another training, this is a space where yoga is practiced as a tool for personal and collective change. Get more details and reserve your spot now.

As we move with honesty and care, we’re sharing that Trans Futures Collective is closing this current chapter. Our capacities just haven't caught up to our desires to hold space for our community consistently. We’re taking time to pause, rest, and reset as we think about what showing up sustainably for ourselves and our communities might look like. This isn’t an ending rooted in loss, but rather a transition rooted in listening deeply. After so many seasons of growth, shifts, and changes we are deeply grateful as we reflect on the beautiful moments of shared practice and connection. This is a soft pause rather than a rigid goodbye. Though we can’t put an exact date when things will re-start or what it will look like, for occasional updates you can subscribe to the free tier of our Patreon where we will share newsletter style communications. Thank you so much for holding this space with us. May each of us continue to find rest, healing, and ease wherever we land next. Until we meet again, with deep appreciation, TFC A starry night sky with white and lavender text reading, “With intention, care, and deep gratitude, we are closing this chapter of Trans Futures Collective.” At the bottom, a circular logo with a crescent moon surrounded by floral illustrations and the words “trans futures collective.”

If your heart breaks for the world and you want to do something about it, yoga teaching might be your path♥️ Authentic yoga teacher training is activism, healing, and leadership all in one breath and movement! It’s easy to look to others leading the way in equity and justice and celebrate them without asking what it means for you to be part of a movement for social change. But you have a needed part in this!! And there’s SO many ways to lead with yoga and create change 🔥 It can also be easy to feel powerless. But yoga connects us to infinite, ever-replenishing power within a power no one can give and no one can take away. (This is deep and powerful and can be taught) What action can you take today to affirm your values and be part of the change? Tell me in the comments 👇🏽 To take action and create real social justice in your life and communities, check out Embody Yoga’s Roots Yoga Teacher Training 200 Comment “LEAD” You are what a yoga teacher and leader looks like 🌹 #ytt200 #yogateachertraining

What makes our 50-hour training unique? Swipe to check it out for yourself! Our incredible faculty delivers a comprehensive curriculum that will offer you the skills to create accessible practices and spaces. Accessible Yoga is more than learning variations of postures, although you’ll receive that too; this training is valuable because it offers the *why* behind the decisions you will need to make as a teacher committed to sharing yoga with every body in the room. The training starts Friday, but you can access pre-recorded content this weekend. Link in bio to get started!
