Yoga Revolution

What a gift to the Yoga community! This book is transformational, much needed, and revolutionary, indeed. Practical, raw, and real. Through Yoga Revolution, Jivana makes the philosophy livable and the practices doable for everybody. -Indu Arora, author of Yoga and Mudra 'Let's ask ourselves how we can make real change in the world.' With these words, offered in a gentle and courageous voice, Jivana Heyman charts a path forward for global yogis toward a more just, humane, and democratic future. Our culture is very good at shutting people and conversations down. What I appreciate most about this book is that it is designed to promote deep and thoughtful conversation about yoga, and to open spaces of dialogue, learning, and healing. I can't wait to talk with others about it! -Jeremy David Engels, co-founder of Yoga Lab, author of The Ethics of Oneness and The Art of Gratitude Yoga Revolution is a critical call to action for yoga professionals and practitioners alike. -Matthew J. Taylor, PT, PhD, C-IAYT, past president of the International Association of Yoga Therapists This book is a deeply personal integration of the spiritual principles of yoga presented in an utterly relevant and engaging format. I was touched by the numerous stories that Jivana shared, as well as with the yoga teacher profiles. A great effort has been made here to process the traditional Indian origins of yoga in a contemporary social and cultural context. This is a teaching every yoga student in the West should certainly read! -Kino MacGregor, author of Get Your Yoga On Yoga Revolution, is a love song to the practice of yoga. What a blessing and a gift to us all. -Melanie Klein, author of Embodied Resilience through Yoga Yoga Revolution is an indispensable guide for all contemporary practitioners striving to respect the roots of the yoga tradition while using the practice to guide comprehensive social change. -Jason Crandell, Vinyasa teacher, contributor to Yoga Journal Yoga is much more than asana and this book explores the intersection of Yoga and social justice as a vehicle for revolution internally and externally, which is much needed globally in the time we are in. -Anusha Wijeyakumar, MA, CPC, E-RYT, author of Meditation with Intention Yoga Revolution offers a modern queer approach to the ancient practice of yoga by integrating what's raw and real and important in our lives. Jivana shares his lifelong passion for social justice and creates a bridge between yoga and the fight for equity for all. -Justin Michael Williams, author of Stay Woke: A Meditation Guide for the Rest of Us
