Get the yagya mug.Shape without content. The degradation of philosophy into gymnastics and of spiritual depth and perennial wisdom into an aesthetic cliché.
White Girl Yoga is essentially an aesthetic that is often mistaken for spirituality. It is built around pretentiousness, cultural appropriation, neoliberal consumerism and the banalization and trivialization of the sacred, and generally expressed in a color palette of beige and pastels. It is an aesthetic that often lacks the complexity and depth of the systems of knowledge it superficially emulates, mostly for instagram likes from dudes with sacred geometry tattoos .
It can be applied to a variety of situations that while might seem meaningful and deep at first glance, are actually just nicely packaged spiritual cliches or platitudes and pseudo-psychological banalities. A White Girl Yoga aesthetic can range from the purely misguided and innocuous to the opportunistic and obscene.

Get the Yoga Bittie mug.A new type of selfie that is taken during a yoga session using one's feet.
It was started as an online challenge " #yogafie_challenge: Taking a #selfie with your feet! " by Sari Hamoud in August 2017. He gives the following description:
"I am a Syrian linguist; I study language comprehension mainly, but I also like taking photos and doing #yoga. Today, I combined the two.
The #yogafie is the ultimate next thing in the #selfie world, a new challenge for selfie takers & yoga lovers. Unlike the #footfie or #feetfie, a selfie for your feet, the #yogafie, is a selfie of YOU while doing #yoga.
To achieve a #yogafie, at the #Sarvangasana or #shoulderstand #āsana ,the person uses their flexibility to hold their phone using one of their feet and then presses the screen with the other foot (preferably the dominant one). Alternatively, if your phone camera does not support touch screen capture, you could use the timer to start the yogafie, but your phone has to be between your feet at the Sarvangasana peak when you take the picture. That’s the challenge!
Try practicing the pose first, and only attempt this after stretching. The aim is to combine yoga with selfie taking in an enjoyable challenge and not to get anyone injured ;). Moreover, your phone might slip and fall, so you better have good reflexes! "
