Do you want to be on the cutting edge of the future of yoga?

If you desire an authentic yoga practice embracing ancient yogic philosophy and traditions but don’t know how to embody that knowledge with integrity in today’s modern yoga culture, Embrace Yoga’s Roots is your guide to honor and not appropriate yoga.

"When we mistake yoga for a workout routine, reduce it to physical fitness or even do some of the deeper aspects of yoga without an eye to the whole system of liberation it offers, we rob ourselves and each other of the potential of this practice," says Susanna Barkataki.

Embrace Yoga's Roots explores the past's yogic traditions, brings them alive today, and preserves them for the future by examining what separates us, reflecting on our part, taking action for equity and moving toward liberation together. If you practice, teach or want to learn yoga integrating your ethics and values while respecting ancient yoga philosophy, you have found the essential guide to making that goal a reality.

"I can't think of anyone more suited to lead the way to embrace yoga's roots than Susanna. This book should be required reading in yoga teacher trainings across the world." ~ Rachel Brathen – author of the New York Times Bestseller Yoga Girl

The Embrace Yoga Roots Framework revealed in this book shares four keys steps to deepen your yoga practice, increase empathy and create unity both personally and with the world.

Separation: Learning how colonization, cultural appropriation, and oppression results in trauma for yogis and separation from yoga traditions.
Reflection: Understanding the causes of separation and our roles, either supporting separation (knowingly or not) versus creating unity and equity in yoga.
Reconnection: Exploring specific and concrete skills and solutions for living and practicing yoga as unity, inspiring global transformation.
Liberation: Integrating a more honorable and ethical practice in your life supporting personal growth by following the ancient teachings.

Barkataki shares tools, resources and gentle guidance demonstrating how you can embody a complete yoga practice that includes and extends beyond the physical, the mindful and the sacred to something equitable, inclusive and accessible for everyone on all levels of their being. This book is more than a textbook on yoga's history but a practical guide offering reflective questions for the personal exploration of challenging topics leading to personal and social transformation. Embrace Yoga's Roots shows you how to take this awakened understanding and vital message into your local yoga community, helping to connect you with the yoga community worldwide.

Lead the global movement now by honoring and embracing ancient philosophies, practices and lifestyles supporting a unified yogic state.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Embrace Yoga's Roots is a crucial addition to every yoga practitioner's bookshelf." ~ Jessamyn Stanley, Author of Every Body Yoga, Founder of The Underbelly Yoga

"For those who long to practice or teach yoga from a place of awareness and intention, this book offers a set of much deeper and necessary tools. A must have for any teacher or practitioner of yoga wishing to honor its lineage." ~ Kathryn Budig, Founder Aim True

"Everyone must read Embrace Yoga's Roots! With history, research, practices and tools, Susanna Barkataki has given us a practical guidebook to help deepen our understanding of yoga's rich history so as to preserve the integrity of its future growth. I highly recommend this book." ~ Seane Corn, Co-founder, Off The Mat, Into The World, and Author of Revolution of the Soul

"Susanna Barkataki elevates our understanding of yoga. It is beyond time to wake up and shift the paradigm that is pervading yoga today and honor the teachings with integrity, taking responsibility for how we practice and teach." ~ Tracee Stanley, Author, Yoga Nidra and Meditation teacher.

"Susanna Barkataki provides a much needed framework...
Each chapter ends with reflection points that function like a workbook to guide the reader through the necessary introspection it takes to deconstruct the harmful colonial paradigm. I absolutely recommend this book to all sincere students and teachers as a necessary step on the path of awakening." ~ Kino MacGregor, Bestselling author of The Yogi Assignment

"Susanna Barkataki's new book Embrace Yoga's Roots should become a curricular text in all yoga teacher training programs. We have an opportunity to change the tide and Susanna Barataki is uniquely qualified to act as our guide." ~ Donna Farhi, Bestselling author of Yoga, Mind, Body and Spirit: A Return to Wholeness

"Susanna Barkataki's words are vital medicine for yoga today...
Her sincerity and intentionality invite us to choose connection over separation, honor the roots of the practice and bring it to life.
Study, absorb and share this with your community--watch the lines of communication open and expand." ~ Elena Brower, New York Times bestselling author of Practice You and Art of Attention

"As a Black woman Yoga Teacher I find the work of Susanna Barkataki's book essential to understand how we share yoga with the world.
Susanna chooses empathy and connection. Required reading for anyone who teaches yoga, works as a healer or is interested in equity and equality on the mat." ~ Dianne Bondy, Bestselling author of Yoga for Everyone

"Susanna's book is a game-changer...
If you want to disrupt the way you understand and participate in yoga (and yoga "industry" in the West), you must read this book (especially, if you, like me, are a white yoga teacher working in an American wellness industry that often completely leaves out south Asian voices).
This is essential reading for any teacher or practitioner who is in inquiry with their responsibility to honor the roots of this culture and practice." ~ Amber Karnes, Founder, Body Positive Yoga

"Embracing the roots of the yoga practice and making sure we are inclusive of all is our responsibility as yoga teachers, and I can't think of anyone more suited to lead the way than Susanna. Her wisdom and grace shines so brightly through these pages! This book should be required reading in yoga teacher trainings across the world." ~ Rachel Brathen, New York Times bestselling author of Yoga Girl

From the Author

Dear Reader,
Welcome! I am so glad you are here. Writing this book has really been a practice of yoga in itself! My wish is that the yoga will leap off the page, support and transform you as well. I wrote this book to take you on a journey of inner and outer inquiry, power, peace, justice and ultimately liberation.

From the seeds of this work, which took shape under the hot orange sun, baked in the ochre dirt, and seeded by the Bodhi tree, while I was living in Bihar, India teaching at a village school. Sitting at the feet of my teacher listening to the Bhagavad Gita and contemplating Arjuna's struggles and duties and Krishna's sage advice, I began applying this wisdom in deep practice, inquiry, personal exploration that shaped both me and the idea this book was to become.

I saw yogic wisdom transform for the better the Bihari village I was living and teaching in. I felt yogic wisdom transform me. Through my years as a teacher and activist in the USA addressing issues of systemic racism to spiritual practice of growth and learning, in many ways it's truly felt like the yoga has "done" its work and this book has written me!

A full, expanded yoga practice has within it the seeds to transform each of us and the world. My hope is that the yoga you explore here will ignite your personal inquiry, empowerment and commitment to a deeper, more ethical and just world.

Like a pilgrimage to a sacred site, this book may challenge you but reading it will create an indelible impact that, once experienced, can never be taken away from you, and which will change you forever.

It will take you on a journey and path of practice that may be surprising, challenging, inspiring, reassuring and growth producing. It will be anything but dull and tiresome.

I wrote it to provide a clear pathway to yoga as a full path and practice of liberation, to counteract the watering down, oversimplification and corruption of what yoga in the West has become.

There is so much richness, depth and potential to a full expanse of yoga practice. It would be a tragedy and loss to humankind for this powerful tradition to be watered down to the point that its essence as a path of liberation is no longer accessible. We take time to grieve the loss, but also to reflect on how far we've come, to look deeply into ourselves, as yoga invites us to do, and to reconnect and get inspired with action! The yogic path has brought so many so much joy, peace and freedom.

My hope is that this book creates inspiration and liberation for you. And that you pass that along - and share this rich gift, of the true self that yoga offers, with many others.

The path is here. Now all we have to do is take the next step. Susanna

She believes in a world where yoga and mindfulness support us in dissolving the illusion of separation to create unity and interconnection.

This is unity that doesn’t erase difference, but invites connection with the broken or shameful parts of ourselves, with those we think of as other, and harmonizes relationships with culture, land, earth and all life.

Her work explores how we can decolonize, reclaim and honor our yoga practice for healing personally and socially.

She has an Honors degree in Philosophy from UC Berkeley, a Masters in Education from Cambridge College, is an E-RYT 500 hour Master Teacher, a 500-Hour Certified Ayurvedic practitioner and a Certified Yoga Therapist with the International Association of Yoga Therapists (C-IAYT).

She is the Creator of Honor Yoga’s Roots online course, is a diversity, accessibility, inclusivity, and equity (DAIE) yoga unity educator and runs 200 and 500 Hour Yoga Teacher Training programs in person and online.

She puts yoga into action as she consults, speaks, teaches and runs trainings.

Hugely Important Transformational Read
Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2020
Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

To say this book has transformed my relationship with the practice of, and teaching of yoga is an understatement, this book has transformed my life.

Western yoga, and I say this as a white, western yoga teacher, has been diluted in many ways. I read this book looking for answers for ways to honor, embrace, and truly value yoga’s roots, while recognizing that I have built my career around a practice from a culture that is not my own. Susanna has a beautiful way of raising topics with open ended questions that challenged me to use the tools and frameworks she’s provided to find answers within myself with her thoughtful and loving guidance. That is what I feel the magic of this book is. It guides the reader to delve deep into themself which is a yogic practice. While different readers will get the same tools and think about the same topics, every person who opens this book and sincerely reads it will form a unique and iterative relationship with the material. Every reader will get different answers and different paths forward in teaching or practicing of yoga.

This book is inspiring and visionary, but it’s presented in a way it makes it fun to unpack and think about. Susanna seeks to decolonize the practice of yoga with this work, but I feel like the process of reading it has also decolonized my thought patterns and assumptions. While the book does not run away from serious topics, I was left feeling imaginative and creative; inspired and lit up with ideas to move towards liberation and unity. I recommend reading this book with a notebook next to you because Susanna’s reflection questions have inspired so much in me as I read.

After reading this book I feel confident practicing and teaching yoga in a way that truly embraces the social justice roots of this practice, but possibly more important, I feel confident holding space for, and holding accountable other western yoga students and instructors engaging in this work of re-imagining and re-rooting into yoga in a way that truly honors the history, philosophy, and culture. This book makes the work of allyship inspired and exciting.

This book is one that will live on my bedside and one that I will return to often.
If you are looking to deep in your relationship with yoga, this book is a must!

Self reflect on your yoga roots
Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2021
Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
As a woman, an immigrant, and as a person of color, it only took the first few pages of “Embrace Yoga’s Roots” (the real copy, not the fake ones out there!) to realize that there is so much more that we can do. The expression ‘actions speak louder than words’ really rings true as you read through this book and reflect on all that we think we know (I had my Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras book alongside me the whole time!). One particular area that had me thinking is one of the definitions we know yoga to be – union with the self. But there is so much more, the word union means to combine, alliance, partnership. So by default the word union is also the opposite of separation, divisiveness, segregation. It should be easy for us to understand this but yet it is not. Susanna breaks it down nicely and I had a true “aha” moment when I answered the reflection questions after I read “From Separation to Liberation”. There are so many areas in this book that are eye-opening but most importantly, easy fixes that we as ‘yogis’ and yoga teachers can implement or course correct right away to ensure that we really stay true to yoga’s roots. A great read and one to reflect on daily as we continue our journey as students of yoga.

must-have book on yoga for unity & liberation
Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2020
Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
Embrace Yoga's Roots offers a loving invitation to look at how we practice yoga beyond the mat - analyzing the spaces where disconnection and oppression can shift towards unity and liberation. This really resonates with me as a lifelong student of the monks and nuns of Ananda Marga, who teach yoga and personal and collective liberation as interconnected. In the west there is a tendency to see yoga as something that happens in a studio or reduce it to a type of exercise, and it so much more. Susanna Barkataki writes in the tone of a kind friend, inviting us (perhaps challenging us) to greater levels of understanding from a place of love and connection. She covers topics such as yoga history, cultural appropriation, trauma-informed yoga in the context of Indian yoga history, privilege, racism, oppression, decolonization, accessibility & inclusion, allyship & accompliceship, land & spiritual lineage acknowledgement, and so many more. The chapters end with thoughtful reflection questions that helped me integrate the information and find ways to apply it in my practice and teaching. Anyone who practices yoga, especially those who teach or are thinking of teaching, would be remiss not to read this book.

A much needed lesson for all of those who practice yoga.
Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2022
Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
Susanna hit the nail on the head with this one. From educating her readers on why yoga was originally cultivated, to listing fundamental ways we can actively practice yoga in the most effective and respectful manner, this book is a much needed push to go deeper and amplify yoga’s true meaning, Unity. Something we could all practice to deter us away from our struggles. Even if you don’t practice yoga, this book can still spark you to self reflect on numerous ways we may cause harm to others, without us even knowing. Susanna asks us questions that will make us think, and rethink the way we do things for a much better impact.

This book comes at a time when many patterns are embedded in the landscape of yoga. Some of those patterns are are like wounds that have scarred the landscape. By reading this book, we can contribute to interrupting those patterns and re-route our collective thinking about yoga. Barkataki writes elegantly and informatively unearthing ingrained beliefs about yoga. Parts of the book are like a workbook and the reader is asked to respond in practical ways to the questions. In this way, the learnings are tangible and stay with you. This is an important piece of writing that should be required reading within teacher trainings so the next generation of teachers embrace the depth of yoga's roots.

So many tab markers! This book is soul inspiring, knowledgeable, and also challenges us to look into ourselves and reflect upon how we have been engaging in western yoga culture either positively or negatively.

It is time to start recognizing where white colonial oppression and erasure has caused harm, especially to the original practitioners and teachers of yoga (Indian, South Asian, and BIPOC).

Thank you Susanna for writing this book and truly calling in each reader to do better.
