“Yoga, Liberation, and Palestine: A Conversation with Sheena Sood, Tejal Patel, and Susanna Barkataki” in Yoga Changemaker Maker Magazine, Summer 2025 edition

See pages 14-17 of the Summer 2025 issue of Yoga Changemakers Magazine.

In recent years, a growing number of yoga practitioners have begun connecting their practice to global struggles for justice. Among them is Sheena Sood, who co-founded Yogis for Palestine, an initiative that brings together teachers, students, and communities across the world in solidarity with Palestinians. Through collective healing, fundraising, and political education, Yogis for Palestine challenges the idea that yoga can or should exist outside of politics. In this conversation, Sheena speaks about duty, resistance, and the power of yoga as a tool for liberation.
