Post Lineage Yoga Part 2 with Theo Wildcroft

The Business Of Teaching Yoga

You might remember in Episode 33, I had the chance to speak with Theo Wildcroft, PHD, who is a yoga teacher, scholar, and author of Post-Lineage Yoga: From Guru to #Metoo.

In this episode we dive deeper into the release of Theo's book, and even have a broad conversation about what it means to be religious.

Theo’s work considers the democratization of yoga post-lineage, and the many different ways yoga communities are responding to concerns about safety in practice. She is at the forefront of the movement for trauma sensitivity, diversity and inclusion, an honorary lifetime member of the BWY, and registered with both the IYN (RYT500) and Yoga Alliance (E-RYT® 500, YACEP®). She’s also a Visiting Fellow at the Open University, UK, Coordinator of the SOAS Centre of Yoga Studies, and founding member of Alt-ac.uk. An accomplished writer with two decades of experience in group facilitation, she not only delivers compelling lectures and inspiring writing, but holds careful and thoughtful spaces for groups and individuals to deepen their knowledge, share experiences and acquire new skills. Her monograph Post-lineage yoga: from guru to #metoo is out now.
