n the coming months, OM will be exploring the #MeToo
movement and its impact and implications within the
yoga community.
The Me Too movement is an international movement against
sexual harassment and assault. Last year, #MeToo spread
virally as a hashtag used on social media to help demonstrate
the widespread prevalence of sexual assault, discrimination and
harassment, especially in the workplace.
Unfortunately, the yoga community is not immune.
From the glitz of Hollywood, to high-powered corporate office
boardrooms, the movement has sparked an outpouring of emotion
and, at times, disturbing accounts from individuals of abuse,
manipulation, bullying and harassment.
In Hollywood, a landmark moment has been the unravelling of mediaom beginnings om beginnings
mogul Harvey Weinstein, who now faces charges of rape in the USA.
But the yoga world has also been shaken, with allegations
against high profile figures such as Bikram Choudhury, the founder
of Bikram Yoga.
It’s a highly charged topic and we’d like to know what you think.
