With respect to equity in yoga, the goal of this responsibility within the Ethical Commitment is for a deepened recognition of the many instances of inequity that live in yoga spaces. It will support the membership and broader yoga community in building and contributing to yoga communities that unite.
關於瑜伽的公平性,道德承諾中這一責任的目標是加深對瑜伽空間中存在的許多不公平現象的認識。它將支持會員和更廣泛的瑜伽社區建設和促進瑜伽社區的團結。
This is reflected in the updated Code of Conduct and new Scope of Practice and their enhanced attention to anti-harassment, anti-discrimination, explicit and informed consent, and active inclusion, amongst other key points. It will also be evident in the introductory Equity in Yoga course Yoga Alliance is developing alongside experts and leaders in the field of equity, which will be offered in late 2020 for Continuing Education credits for all members.
瑜伽公平反映在更新的《行為準則》和《業務範圍》中,以及他們在反騷擾,反歧視,明確和知情同意、積極包容和其他要點上加強關注。這一點也將在瑜伽課程中明顯表現出來,瑜伽聯盟正與平等領域的專家和領導者一起開發瑜伽課程,該課程將於2020年底為所有會員提供繼續教育學分。
瑜伽中的平等地位
During the last two years, Yoga Alliance and the Yoga Alliance Foundation have engaged in honest and informative exchanges with its membership and the broader yoga community—as well as with leaders in the yoga equity movement—to learn about their unique experiences, encounters with inequitable treatment, and the need for more welcoming, supportive, inclusive, and accessible yoga spaces. This has informed our increasing awareness of and responsibility to equity in yoga and influenced the development of the Ethical Commitment to be shared by all Yoga Alliance members today and moving forward.
在過去的兩年中,瑜伽聯盟和瑜伽聯盟基金會與其會員,更廣泛的瑜伽社區以及瑜伽公平運動的領導者進行了誠實而有益的交流,來了解他們的獨特經歷、遭遇不平等的相遇,以及對更多歡迎性,支持性,包容性和無障礙性的瑜伽空間的需求。這使我們對瑜伽公平性的認識和責任感增強,並影響了現在和未來所有瑜伽聯盟成員分享的道德承諾的發展。
Through the 18-month long, community-led Standards Review Project, a diverse group of yoga school owners, teachers, practitioners, and non-practitioners shared candid stories and advised us on the need for a more equitable yoga environment—especially for those who have been impacted by inequities. These insights built and shaped our awareness of these important issues and serve as the foundation of our continuing work. We now take this opportunity to explain why this is important to us and to share our hopes for increased equity in yoga within our membership and throughout the broader yoga community.
通過為期18個月,由社區主導的「標準審查項目」,各種各樣的瑜伽學校所有者,老師,從業者和非從業者,尤其是那些遭受不公平待遇的人,坦率地分享了他們的故事,並為我們提供了一個需要更公平的瑜伽環境的建議,這些見解建立並塑造了我們對這些重要問題的認識,並成為我們持續工作的基礎。現在,我們藉此機會解釋為什麼這對我們很重要,並分享我們在會員以及整個瑜伽界中增加瑜伽公平性的希望。
Why Equity 為什麼要公平?
In the spirit of satya, we recognize the inequities in the systems that surround yoga and through which yoga is practiced. In the spirit of ahimsa, we acknowledge that these inequities have led to the exclusion and harm of many communities. Equity creates space for a fair distribution of resources, support, and opportunities amongst diverse populations and communities, allowing for the opportunity to teach, practice, and study yoga safely, without harm or judgment. By focusing on equity, we are able to center our work around facilitating change in the areas of diversity, accessibility, and inclusivity. This emphasis on equity aligns our hopes for everyone to have access to resources and support as well as recognizes that there will be distinct work required to ensure all communities are able to leverage opportunities across the training, teaching, business, and practice of yoga.
本著薩蒂亞人的精神,我們認識到瑜伽系統的不平等和瑜伽練習的不平等。本著阿希姆薩精神,我們承認這些不平等現象導致許多社區遭到排斥和傷害。公平為不同人群和社區之間公平分配資源,支持和機會創造了空間,使人們有機會安全地教導,訓練和學習瑜伽,而不會造成傷害或迷失判斷。通過關注公平,我們能夠將工作集中在促進多樣性,可訪問性和包容性領域的變化上。對公平的強調使我們希望每個人都能獲得資源和支持,並認識到需要開展獨特的工作以確保所有社區都能在整個培訓過程中利用各種機會。
Why Now 為什麼是現在?
The emphasis on equity in yoga is not new. Many in the yoga community have been driving the conversation and working to promote a yoga that is welcoming, supportive, inclusive, and accessible. We are thankful for the opportunity to learn from these leaders and to join the movement. Yoga Sutra 1.1—Atha yoga anushasanam1—serves as a call to action for all of us to engage, to assess the present moment, and to tune into what is happening now. We can no longer sit on the sidelines and rather will strive to amplify the voices, experiences, and work of those who continue to guide us through this process of learning and expanding our awareness and responsibility.
強調瑜伽公平性並不是什麼新鮮事。瑜伽社區中的許多人一直在推動對話,並致力於推廣一種受歡迎性,支持性,包容性且易於使用的瑜伽。有機會向這些領導人學習並參加運動,我們充滿感激。瑜珈經1.1——阿薩瑜伽——是行動的召喚,讓我們所有人都參與進來,評估現在的時刻,調整現在正在發生的事情。我們不能再袖手旁觀,而是將努力擴大那些繼續指導我們完成這一學習的過程和擴大我們的認識和責任的人的聲音、經驗和工作。
WhyYoga Alliance為什麼選擇瑜伽聯盟?
We are part of the yoga community, and we are on our own journey towards supporting a more equitable yoga. We recognize the many challenges we face and that this is the first step of many to come. In the spirit of svadhyaya, Yoga Alliance and the Yoga Alliance Foundation recognize the discomfort of this work and embrace it, continuing our self-study as we engage in continuous reflection, education, and training along this lifetime of learning. Our desire is for a deepened understanding of inequities and exclusion within yoga, and for spaces that welcome, support, include, and are accessible to all communities. Yoga Alliance is committed to supporting changes that will move yoga towards greater equity, as we believe in the potential of yoga, and we welcome all of our members and the broader yoga community to join, inform, and continue the work in this effort.
我們是瑜伽界的一員,我們正致力於支持更公平的瑜伽。我們認識到我們面臨的許多挑戰,這是許多挑戰的第一步。秉承斯瓦迪亞的精神,瑜伽聯盟和瑜伽聯盟基金會認識到這項工作的不便之處並予以接受,並在我們這一生的學習生涯中不斷進行反思,教育和培訓,從而繼續進行自學。我們的願望是加深對瑜伽中不平等和排斥的理解,並希望有一個歡迎的,支持的,包容的並為所有社區使用的瑜伽空間。瑜伽聯盟致力於支持瑜伽朝著更大的平等方向發展的變革,因為我們相信瑜伽的潛力,因此我們歡迎所有成員和更廣泛的瑜伽社區加入,交流。
What’s next下一步做什麼?
We will invest our resources to facilitate greater awareness of, and responsibility to, equity in yoga within our membership and the broader yoga community. This investment starts with the Ethical Commitment, which includes an updated Code of Conduct and new Scope of Practice that contain enhanced attention to anti-harassment, anti-discrimination, explicit and informed consent, and active inclusion, amongst others. It will continue with the release of our introductory Equity in Yoga course and our support of events and activities that showcase a more diverse range of voices and lived experiences. Our goal is to collectively embark on this journey and to play a role in meaningful change through work founded in the spirit of yogic principles. We acknowledge that this work will likely be different for each of us, and we invite you to share in this responsibility and join us in our journey towards greater equity in yoga.
我們將投入資源,以提高會員和更廣泛的瑜伽界對瑜伽公平性的認識和責任。這項投資始於道德承諾,其中包括更新的行為準則和的業務範圍,包括對反騷擾,反歧視,明確和知情同意以及積極包容的關注。我們將繼續發布我們的瑜伽入門課程,以及我們的活動和對活動的支持,這些活動展示了更多不同的聲音和生活經驗。我們的目標是集體踏上這一旅程,並通過遵循瑜伽原則精神開展的工作在有意義的變革中發揮作用。我們承認這項工作對我們每個人來說可能會有所不同,因此我們邀請您分擔這項責任,並加入我們的行列,以提高瑜伽的公平性。
