Ep. 18 | Yogis, Racism & Liberation with Vedya Amrita Bethel

What is a yogic perspective on the Black Lives Matter movement, and the struggle for justice for black, indigenous, and all people of color? ⁣ ⁣ How and where does racism exist within yoga communities, and its industries? ⁣ ⁣ These are some of the tough questions I explore with my wonderful guest, Vedya Amrita Bethel. Vedya Amrita is a Kundalini Yoga teacher and healer living in New York City. Her strong, wise, and radiant energy transmits beautifully in our spirited and real discussion about her life, race in America, and race in the yoga community. ⁣ ⁣ This is a time when all of us will benefit from gaining a deeper understanding of racism, superiority complexes, and how these very things are built into the very infrastructure of our societies and thus the mind’s subconscious patterns. ⁣ ⁣ This is a time of great transformation. Either we get on the train or it will drag us along anyways. It’s a Love movement, a Zion train. ⁣   Visit her website at http://myglowinghouse.com Follow her on Instagram and Facebook.

If you could ask some of the world's brightest minds and biggest hearts any question... what would it be? That very question is the essence of our newest adventure into the exploration of love and consciousness... The Jai Dev Show. In this semi-weekly podcast, I'll be talking to some of the most inspiring people I've met throughout my years of traveling and teaching around the world. They are people who have concentrated their life-force. They have pointed the energy of their life into a single direction to create something beautiful and uplifting. They are the artists of life, creating and sharing the magic of their craft with their world. I won't just be talking to yogis or spiritual teachers. I've interviewed musicians, entrepreneurs, healers, and artists of all kinds. These are the people I want to talk to, the conversations that I want to have with the people that truly inspire me. These conversations go deep into the essence of life and uncover the truths of being human that every single person can relate to.
