…it’s possible to approach yoga — as well as Indigenous cultures and practices — without appropriating, Johnson suggested. If you’re new to the topics, read, learn as much as you can, use a critical eye and be respectful, she said. “I would never want to scare someone away from being interested in Indigenous cultures or…
