Yoga is dead
and we’re going to tell you who killed it
Yoga is Dead is a revolutionary podcast that explores power, privilege, fair pay, harassment, race, cultural appropriation and capitalism in the yoga and wellness worlds. Join Indian-American hosts Tejal + Jesal as they expose all the monsters lurking under the yoga mat.
To our listeners and supporters, we stand in solidarity with our Black community during this trying time. We encourage those who are able to, to support BIPOC-led organizations fighting for justice and to end racial inequality.
We also hope that you are staying healthy and rested during the coronavirus pandemic.
We know both have affected nearly everyone in our communities and we sincerely wish you all strength through this trying time.
Thanks for everything, Tejal and Jesal
E-book: Original godmothers of yoga
Original Godmothers of Yoga is the first ever e-book from the Yoga is Dead team! With this e-book we aspire to mainstream the incredibly impactful stories of a selection of the women who have been the champions of yoga over the centuries in an effort to bring these Original Godmothers (OG) the global recognition they deserve.
The stories contained in these pages are of South Asian women from a variety of regions, backgrounds and points in history; we hope these women’s stories showcase the diversity of practitioners and the varied paths to enlightenment.
