Congratulations, but first please call this technique by it's correct "Vipasana" (not "Mindfulness"). FYI, Mindfulness is a Buddhist/Hindu vipasana meditation technique that has existed for very long time, that the west is trying to appropriate by deciet.

I don’t think it’s deceitful to help spread the practice around the world and allow more ppl to benefit from it. If I were you, I’d be happy that there are ppl that are helping to make the practice more accessible for more ppl.

You're right Yasmine, but it also prevents people from going deeper. Rather than appropriating bits of it, the tradition of yoga can be presented authentically to benefit more people. These are not "religions" but powerful scientific methods for the mind developed over millennia.

Why change it's name? Why not call it Yoga, an inherent part of Hinduism. Would you change name of Their of relativity and let Iran use it with some other name just because it helps everyone? Is that ethical?

Why change the name of the practice? Why not spread it by calling it with it’s actual name - Vipasana. Branding things with other name by deceit in order to digest the concept and not giving credit to it’s actual sources is illegal like patent-violation and plagiarism.

“The West has been trying to expropriate everything Hindu, Vedic and yogic possible, put their own name on it and market it for personal business advantage. From trademarking Ayurvedic herbs to renaming Yoga practices. Must be challenged at every point.” -
