How did an ancient spiritual practice become the preserve of the
privileged? Nadia Gilani has been practising yoga as a participant
and teacher for over twenty-five years. Yoga has saved her life and
seen her through many highs and lows; it has been a faith, a
discipline, and a friend, and she believes wholeheartedly in its
radical potential. However, over her years in the wellness
industry, Nadia has noticed not only yoga's rising popularity, but
also how its modern incarnation no longer serves people of colour,
working class people, or many other groups who originally pioneered
its creation. Combining her own memories of how the practice has
helped her with an account of its history and transformation in the
modern west, Nadia creates a love letter to yoga and a passionate
critique of the billion-dollar industry whose cost and
inaccessibility has shut out many of those it should be helping. By
turns poignant, funny, and shocking, The Yoga Manifesto excavates
where the industry has gone wrong, and what can be done to save the
practice from its own success.
