Description

Litiana returns to the podcast for part two of this conversation on how yoga helped her throw out colonial and religious legacies from her body and embrace her own indigeneity, and truly feel at home in her body.

Mark and her discuss her experiences, her vision for teaching dissociated world leaders, and their shared relationship with the Indian High commissioner and her poetry honouring Fiji.

“You can't change anybody until you love them first.”

• Her conflict between feeling at home, but never fully belonging to her own self
• Yoga as a process of belonging to yourself
• Stepping into your power amidst traditional indigenous and religious society
• How people reacted to her process of freedom — the labels, the family expectations, and the struggle
