Problem
1) Oppression and privilege are harmful ways that society uses to divide and conquer. What are some ways that you see oppression and privilege in your daily life?
2) Can you identify ways in which you personally may be perpetuating or colluding with racism, sexism, gender bias, ableism, perpetuating body ideals, religious bigotry etc?
3) Examine and challenge your own biases, prejudices and conditioning. Identify any bias you have or beliefs/conditioning you may need to let go of.
4) How do you feel about yourself? Do you love yourself? Are you accepting or critical of yourself and/or others in the way you speak, think or act?
5) Are you aware of any acts of violence that you commit against animals, insects, the environment through pollution and factory farming? If yes, explain.
6) The first ethical principle of Yoga is Ahim?a. How can knowing this deepen your Yoga practice in order to act non violently in your thoughts, speech and actions?
