    Thank you for saying this. I genuinely would never not take someone’s cultural practices and religion seriously. I just really like what it symbolizes to me.

      And for what it’s worth, Hinduism is an open religion, and yoga is a cultural practice that is encouraged to be shared.

      Respectfully partaking in other people’s cultures is a joy when you’re welcomed. The talk of cultural appropriation is really about disrespectful utilization of other cultures or taking part in cultural practices you aren’t welcome to.
