As of October 2018, Bear does not, in fact, teach yoga anymore.

I wrote extensively about why I decided to leave the practice and what’s happening instead. The series of blog posts about yoga and cultural appropriation was published in four parts, linked in chronological order below. The blog will remain up indefinitely, as these writings are continuing to circulate and be read, particularly the second piece.

1. Why I’m Quitting Yoga: a letter to my yoga students

2. Beyond Cultural Appropriation: A letter to my fellow white yoga teachers

3. White entitlement: on quitting yoga and what comes next

4. Whiteness is disembodiment: notes on white cultural loss
