About Ravali
Ravali grew up in a small village in South India, where yoga was part of everyday life. Informed by traditional learning in India and her academic work in Peace, Conflict, and decolonial studies, she creates embodied spaces for critical reflection, cultural responsibility, and collective care.
For who is this workshop?
This workshop is for facilitators, teachers, space holders, and practitioners who work with practices that are not from their own cultural lineage and want to engage them with greater care, awareness, and responsibility.
Many spiritual, healing, movement, and wellness practices circulate today in ways shaped by colonial histories and spiritual capitalism, often simplified, rebranded, and disconnected from the communities and lineages they come from. This workshop creates space to slow down and reflect on how power, privilege, and extraction show up in our work and in our bodies.
Together we will explore:
• how cultural appropriation appears in teaching and facilitation
• how spiritual capitalism shapes what is valued, sold, and consumed
• how to cultivate accountability, reciprocity, and ethical engagement
• how to move from appropriation toward collaboration and care
The workshop weaves shared reflection with an embodied practice, allowing understanding to emerge through feeling, noticing, and moving together. We make space for discomfort, curiosity, and relational responsibility.
This workshop is for you if you work with practices from cultures not your own and are willing to reflect deeply, engage relationally, and practice with care.
