I’ve been inspired by Theo Wildcroft’s earlier works, particularly her coining of the phrase post-lineage and explorations of what that means.
This book continues to evolve my understanding of the environment in which yoga now exists and how those of us outside the Western capitalist yoga paradigm can move forward with integrity.
