    I love this question, because I have the same concerns of wanting to respect the vast and beautiful tradition of yoga in my teaching, aknowledging that is not my original culture.

    I feel like probably one of the ways of maintaining this respect is continuous study and humility but also curiosity and oppennes while learning.

    Also, I would add that diminishing other people’s practice because yogic tradition is not in their cultural roots doesn’t seem very open hearted if their will and path is true.

    Curious to hear other opinions and thoughts regarding this subject. 🙏
