About this episode
Welcome back to The Wai Way Podcast - A Diary of Another CEO.
In this episode, I hold space to unpack some of the ways cultural appropriation is showing up in the health, fitness & wellness industry:
What is "cultural appropriation"
Where BBLs and the modern day quest for bigger butts came from
The gigantic - but not talked about enough - cultural appropriation of yoga as a practice
How you can APPRECIATE instead of APPROPRIATE within your own health, fitness & wellbeing practices
