Frequently, I hear in the standard yoga class patter about us having and being all we need a tacit permission not to fight the fascists. I'm probably getting this focus on my breathing thing spot on.

It’s important to affirm that we are & have all we need; myth of scarcity props up fascism. Many advocates would do well to remember that so they spend less time yelling at/compromising with/begging fascists to change their minds & more time actually fighting for what we deserve.
I hear you & agree. My reference was to refrain I hear (maybe it's Bay Area thing?) that it's merely our perceptions that create/inhibit our wellbeing. This, to me, risks suggesting someone could happy-think their way out of pain caused by actual harms we need to address.

It's funny in a way because all the good yogis I know in India are full-on fighting the fascists today. :)

Of course they are. Hope it's clear - definitely don't think this is inherent to yoga. Am speaking of how it's "translated"

True, *and* I also think a lot of advocates (particularly those w/ more privilege) let their perceptions/assumptions about what’s possible limit our collective power & well-being. (I’ve been really wrestling w/ this the past few months & struggling find time to write about it).

More and more I find myself straddling the activist world and the mindfulness/wellness space and see very clearly how much both communities could stand to learn from each other. (Also very grateful for folks like
@kkellyyoga &@CTZNWELL who are working hard to bridge that gap!!)
