    Ashtanga yoga: Culture?

    Ashtanga yoga: Culture?


    Culture?

    Hi everyone,

    Another question to the community based on a weird personal realisation 😅

    Have you become attached to Indian culture since you started yoga? I notice that I tend to want to emulate completely the cultural context of whatever I'm practicing; when I practice yoga I want to be Indian, when I practice Chinese Buddhism/Taoism I want to be Chinese...I get lost trying to live and eat like the ancients. I notice differing levels of this in a lot of foreign practitioners. How do you reconcile your practice with your birth/current culture?

    Thanks for any insight you guys can share! I'm getting lost finding myself.
