Radical Darshan was born from a shared commitment to honoring yoga’s roots while challenging the ways modern yoga culture has been shaped by exclusion, colonialism, appropriation, and inequity.

We bring together dharmic study, anti-oppression practice, and community-centered learning so that yoga can be lived as a path of integrity and collective care. Our teaching approach reflects a desire to reconnect practice with integrity, cultural respect, and the lived realities of the communities yoga touches.

Our Mission

Our mission is to support teachers and spaceholders to embody justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion as part of yoga practice itself. We believe modern yoga can re-discover the path to self-inquiry, advocacy, ethical leadership, and collective liberation.


Our Values

  • Integrity

    Honouring yoga’s roots, its philosophical depth, and the responsibilities that come with teaching and practicing it

  • Justice

    Understanding that yoga does not sit outside power, culture, or systems, and that ethical practice includes how we relate to and uplift others

  • Community

    Learning in relationship, with compassionate accountability, mutual care, and space for growth

  • Liberation

    Practicing yoga not only as personal transformation, but as a path connected to collective freedom

  • Accessibility

    Creating teaching spaces where people with different bodies, backgrounds, and life experiences are visible, feel respected and empowered

What Radical Darshan Offers

Students are invited to deepen their understanding of yoga, refine their teaching skills, and step more fully into their potential as facilitators and human beings. They also gain language, courage, and discernment. Rather than offering a fixed formula, Radical Darshan helps students to cultivate a way of teaching that is more culturally aware, more embodied, and more responsive to the realities of power, identity, and community.
