“Yoga teacher Jessica Barudin, who is is Kwakwa̱ka̱ʼwakw and a member of the ‘Namgis First Nation in British Columbia, understands how typical yoga classes are a far cry from the practice’s ancient roots.
To not repeat the cycle of cultural appropriation in her classes, Barudin reminds people of where yoga comes from. She also honours yoga’s Indian roots — the mythology of the chants of the Sanskrit language, or different aspects of the postures — by learning from teachers who are from that part of the world.
Yoga is much more than stretching out the hamstrings in downward facing dog; it’s a mindful, embodied movement practice.”
“Yoga is really about the mind. It’s a mental science,” she said.
And it can help people cope with the stress and ongoing traumas happening not only within Indigenous communities but around the world, Barudin said.
“Yoga provides a framework to find a bit of balance … through some of the chaos.”
