Welcome to Yoga with Aditi. I’m Aditi, and the man snoring in the corner is Biju Uncle. Today’s yoga series is for my fellow South Asians. Hop into something comfy—nighties with holes are encouraged—and let’s begin.

Let’s start with a quick check-in. Notice what energy you’re bringing to the mat today. Are you nervous? Are you holding tension in your jaw? Is your cholesterol through the roof due to the lingering effects of centuries of British colonial rule? Try to put your stressors aside, at least for the next twenty minutes. It’s time to join me and your fellow yogis, who are mostly white ladies, for a quick but powerful session.

We will start today’s practice with Yoga for When Your Relatives Ask, “When Are You Getting Married?” You’ve been requesting this one a lot in the comments. This is the perfect sequence for when Aunty is pestering you for “good news,” and no, the new taco place opening on your corner doesn’t count.
