Journalist Ruchira Sharma tackles the awkward side of popular culture head-on.


In this pilot episode, she examines her complicated relationship with yoga, from lockdown YouTube classes to an uncomfortable memory of a Hindu summer camp. Through conversations with yoga teachers Carly Schutt and Ainhoa Acosta, Sanskrit scholar Dr James Mallinson, and psychiatrist Raj Persaud, she explores yoga’s Indian roots, its Western reinvention, the wellness industry, cultural misappropriation, anxiety, and whether yoga needs decolonising. Along the way, Ruchira confronts what yoga means to her as a British Indian woman, and whether reclaiming the practice also means reclaiming parts of herself.
