Welcome to season six! Fifty Feminist States is back for a mini-season with three very special conversations about healing, white supremacy, and voting this fall.
In this episode, Amelia interviews Susanna Barkataki, a speaker, teacher, author, and yoga unity activist living and working on unceded Seminole land in Florida. They discuss what it’s like to be an Indian woman practicing and teaching yoga in the U.S., the ways in which yoga succeeds and fails as a feminist practice, and the necessary steps for decolonizing yoga in the West. It’s such a powerful conversation and a beautiful sneak peek into Susanna’s upcoming book.
