About this listen

How did an ancient spiritual practice become the preserve of the privileged?

Nadia Gilani has been practising yoga as a participant and teacher for more than 25 years. Yoga has saved her life and seen her through many highs and lows; it has been a faith, a discipline and a friend, and she believes wholeheartedly in its radical potential. However, over her years in the wellness industry, Nadia has noticed not only yoga's rising popularity, but also how its modern incarnation no longer serves people of colour, working-class people or many other groups who originally pioneered its creation.

Combining her own memories of how the practice has helped her with an account of its history and transformation in the modern West, Nadia creates a love letter to yoga and a passionate critique of the billion-dollar industry whose cost and inaccessibility has shut out many of those it should be helping. By turns poignant, funny and shocking, The Yoga Manifesto excavates where the industry has gone wrong, and what can be done to save the practice from its own success.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

A most needed read

It takes great courage for one to expose his/her innermost fragilities like Nadia has done in this book. Nonetheless, if we’re honest with oneself, we all suffer from the same common issues. We’re all humans in the end.

Nadia’s book is a most needed read for yogis and “industry” players alike.

Nadia may have started a revolution by holding the mirror so we can finally see the reflection of our choices, rather than keeping pointing the finger at others for the change we want/need.

Bravo Nadia 👏👏👏👏
