About the Event

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 Anjali and ask her questions about the book 

  • Anjali will offer a short reading from the book

  • Time for Q&A with community members

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.)
