Dear Ashtanga Instagram Yoga People:
You were probably never informed what the so-called ashtanga drama between two big name ashtanga instagram accounts was actually about– because it wasn’t that at all. Not “ashtanga drama.” Not even a “fight” between two “heavy hitters.” Nope: It was about a tone-deaf, racially insensitive Instagrammed tweet, one that this community has yet to take responsibility for. You might think otherwise because the social media game board on which this played out got repeatedly scrubbed of the comments, stories, and memes involved: Gone. I’ll be damned if the opportunity for this community to evolve, put its actions where its words are, and progress– gets lost too.
