58. Social Justice: Collective & Individual Healing with Anusha Wijeyakumar

Anusha Wijeyakumar is a professor, speaker, and author of ‘Meditation with Intention,’ and today she joins Dr. Avanti to discuss the intersection of yoga philosophy and social justice. They explore why the decolonization of yoga and wellness is a pivotal piece in the discussion of social justice, and why we need to be willing to unlearn and relearn. They also unpack how our own self-care can become a hindrance to our own path to spiritual liberation as well as the collective’s liberation. This is a fascinating and important conversation on what it means to have a social justice mindset, how it connects to our health, and how we can move from talking to taking action.
