Weaponize Yoga: Identity, Ego, and the Ruins of Western Yoga Culture
<p>Yoga is a state of being. People are drawn to the practice for deeply personal reasons, often carrying grief, trauma, or a sense that something in their life is no longer working. </p><p><br></p><p>At its core, yoga is a practice of confrontation: with suffering, with illusion, and with the identities we cling to in order to feel safe. In everything I just said, I’m talking about yoga. Western yoga, on the other hand, is it’s own beast. Western yoga culture has developed into something else entirely. </p><p><br></p><p>In this episode of Hint of Trauma, I’m joined by Keith Partington and Sydney Richter, founders of Weaponize Yoga, to examine how a practice oriented toward self-knowledge became embedded in a commercial system that often reinforces avoidance rather than transformation.</p><p><br></p><p>We discuss identity, suffering, and the importance of community in yoga, while also looking at Keith and Sydney's vision for a new approach to yoga that emphasizes personal transformation and liberation from societal constructs.</p><p><br></p><p>Weaponize Yoga IG: https://www.instagram.com/weaponizeyoga/Weaponize Yoga </p><p>Substack: https://weaponizeyoga.substack.com/</p><p><br></p><p>Aubrey's IG: https://www.instagram.com/aubrey__aust/</p><p>Hint of Trauma IG: https://www.instagram.com/hintoftrauma/</p><p>Website: www.aubreyaust.com</p>
