Through the Global Lens of Diversity
Candid conversations about teaching around the world over the last 25 years with Beloved Yoga
I have been leading retreats, classes and workshops internationally since 2001. Over the years, I have had the opportunity to lead classes with local students and teachers, and return over the years to develop their progress. There have been so many lovely experiences and crazy ones too! Here I share some of the stories and reasons why I have returned year after year to Asia to spread the joy of Yoga.
Training and Practice in Yoga Therapeutics
The question of yoga’s “do-ability” as a therapeutic and restorative tool is reflective of how it fits into the dual worlds of traditional and medical healing. Its capacity to balance a holistic care model with its pathology-focused counterpart is what makes yoga a keystone of developing integrative medical departments. While alternative and complementary treatments are receiving more attention in studies and patient care plans, there is still a great deal of criticism and even hostility to integrative medicine within the conventional medical world. In 2009, top scientists jumped at the chance to advocate for the defunding of the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, a division of the U.S. National Institutes of Health originally created in 1992.
