In an effort to reclaim our traditional practices, Sanskriti strives to promote and encourage native practitioners. It is well known that the Yoga industry currently is heavily dominated by exploitative western brands and practitioners that continue to dilute, distort and profit off practices whilst suppressing native teachers and practitioners. This is neocolonialism at its finest. While native people are slowly regaining confidence in their identity after centuries of intellectual and physical slavery, they are still riddled with obstacles and disadvantaged when it comes to reconnecting with their ancient practices. This reiterates the importance of supporting native businesses, practitioners, scholars etc. Our journey to reconnect with our roots cannot be divorced from the racial experience that goes hand in hand with it.
