I’m excited to introduce you to today’s guest on Honing In, Harpinder Mann!

Harpinder Mann, RYT-500, SEP (she/her), is a trauma-informed yoga teacher, Bhakti student, and author based on Tongva land (Los Angeles). Her work bridges social justice and healing, honoring collective liberation. Her book, Liberating Yoga: From Appropriation to Healing, invites readers to reclaim yoga as a practice of integrity and wholeness.

When I read Harpinder’s book, I filled it with post-it notes because so many things inspired and moved me. As I shared with her in our conversation, I wish I had this book when I started my yoga journey years ago. Lucky for us all, it’s here now!

Check out this episode to hear us chat about:

• Challenging the packaging of yoga and mindfulness as relentless self improvement

• Why working with students and clients doesn’t feel like a project to Harpinder

• Decolonizing yoga through honoring where practices have come from

• Harpinder’s book journey and the sense of responsibility she felt while writing Liberating Yoga

Take care and talk soon,
Dr. Kate
