&gt; I think the argument would be more along the lines of: &quot;You&#x27;re calling this Yoga, but here is what Yoga has meant historically in my culture, which is actually quite different.&quot;<p>This argument was actually made in the case of the University of Ottawa. The yoga instructor even offered to rename the class to &quot;mindful stretching&quot; so as not to associate it with the spiritual and cultural aspects of yoga &#x2F; Yogi Practice, but was still shut down by the student&#x27;s union because they felt that it was gentrifying and demonstrated cultural appropriation.<p>Personally I think the vast majority of culture has been stolen or replicated from older cultures and I don&#x27;t think that having a stretching class really constitutes some kind of injustice just because it is derived from traditional yoga.
