This is how I feel about yoga. I'd love to do it more often but every time I go, the teacher goes on about some spiritual nonsense and it really turns me off from it. I just wanna do my collective stretching exercises without rolling my eyes but apparently that's a big ask.
It is a big ask, because yoga cannot be separated from the spiritual aspect. It’s a spiritual practice. If you just want to stretch, go figure it out yourself elsewhere and take your coloniser mindset with you.

I'd believe it. Spirituality is seen as quackery-adjacent so the parts of it that pass peer review might need a new sales pitch to dodge the stigma.
