@agaudeul I generally agree on most things like food, but it is important to consider the white gaze on consuming ‘Oriental’ practices. This is very prevalent in ‘new age and spirituality’ spaces, where it is hard to avoid a sense of.. colonialism really. At the same time, the people who sell the other extreme of it (only Indians can practice and sell yoga and Indian culture is the purest and the best) are kind of gross as well.
