Yoga as Embodied Resistance: A Feminist Lens on Caste, Gender, & Sacred Resilience in Yoga History illuminates the essential—but often unseen—relationships between caste and gender in yoga.

Bridging scholarship, history, and cultural analysis, Anjali inquires into how caste oppression, patriarchy, colonization, and ethno-nationalism impact contemporary practice and offers readers radical ways to re-envision a yoga grounded in liberation, discernment, and even dissent.

What you can look forward to at the FREE virtual launch party:

• Host Jivana Heyman will introduce author Anjali Rao and Dr. Alka Arora, who supported Anjali with developing the manuscript

• Dr. Alka and Anjali will discuss the writing process, their favorite part of the book, what they both learned, and more

• Anjali will offer a short reading

• Q&A with community
  

Plus, the event will offer two giveaways:

One lucky live attendee will receive a FREE copy of the book, and another live attendee will win a spot in Anjali’s reading circle!

(If you can’t join live, the event will be recorded.)
