What is a yogic perspective on the Black Lives Matter movement, and the struggle for justice for black, indigenous, and all people of color?

How and where does racism exist within yoga communities and its industries?

These are some of the tough questions I explore with my wonderful guest, Vedya Amrita Bethel. Vedya Amrita is a Kundalini Yoga teacher and healer living in New York City. Her strong, wise, and radiant energy transmits beautifully in our spirited and real discussion about her life, race in America, and race in the yoga community.

This is a time when all of us will benefit from gaining a deeper understanding of racism, superiority complexes, and how these very things are built into the very infrastructure of our societies and thus the mind’s subconscious patterns.

This is a time of great transformation. Either we get on the train or it will drag us along anyways. It’s a Love movement, a Zion train.
