"Acuda, a charity in the city of Porto Velho, trains prisoners in
spiritual and physical healing practices including yoga and Ayurvedic
massage, as well as in conventional vocational skills such as car

to and something they can use when they leave," said Adriano
Furtunato, regional manager of the penal system for the state, located
on the western fringe of the Amazon rainforest. The system has strict

"Combining cannabis with yoga is a fairly controversial subject within

that yogis seek to find freedom from suffering, still the mind, and
find enlightenment by unifying the body, mind, and spirit, the means
by which one may strive to achieve one or more of these will vary from
practice to practice. There are those who may argue that developing
your focus and physical purity could be hindered by consuming
cannabis. Others may find that its use enables them to explore their

"But this is all part of a larger trend—one that is fundamentally
changing college life. This all adds up to a new way of thinking, or
non-thinking, taking over our universities. Universities are fostering
an environment where students are no longer taught how to think,
exercise judgment and communicate, particularly if they encounter
views or information that they find offensive."

"Voilá, an absurd non-sequitur: A simple, well-liked yoga class –
basically just some nice stretching for kids on campus – is canceled
over claims of “cultural misappropriation,” which is sort of like

You are, you might say, missing the point."

Cultural appropriation? Hindu nationalists used yoga as an
anti-colonialist export
https://boingboing.net/2015/11/24/cultural-appropriation-hindu.html
"Hindu nationalists synthesized "yoga philosophy" with "Indian
wrestling exercises, British army calisthenics, and Scandinavian
gymnastics" to create the system we think of as "yoga" today. The
creator of the vinyassa system, Tirumalai Krishnamacharya, sent Indra
Devi abroad to teach yoga, and she opened the first yoga studio in
Hollywood, teaching celebrities like Greta Garbo and Gloria Swanson."

"Cultural appropriation is when a culture that's seen as an oppressor
borrows or steals elements of a culture they're oppressing. Since yoga
originated in India, some people evidently believe that Western
oppressors (the Canadians?) shouldn’t be allowed to stretch and
meditate. We have seriously gone over the edge when a yoga class
offends someone. Now we’re “stealing.”"
