We will have to agree to disagree about this. Yoga in its essence is apolitical.

Yoga was introduced as a leftwing liberal progressive fashion in the 70s. It was not political, but part of the leftwing cultural revolution.

It is not the actual physical movements that I wish to emphasize here, Matt. That misses the point.

The whole leftwing culture of the 70s, introduced by Neo-Marxists, included Yoga as a slap in the face to all things Western. That the East was best. More spiritual, and so on. This was part of the tactic towards destroying the West. Which was the entire point of Neo-Marxism.

Yoga became the badge of the cool, progressive set. Who were not actually cool or progressive at all. But major dupes.
