Why do an Acknowledgement to Country at the beginning of all Yoga practices I teach?
As a traditional custodian & elder of the lands I teach yoga. It is my responsibility to uphold the ancient cultural protocols which historically requires visitors to seek permission to be on another’s land. This act when done with sincerity, shows respect for the Traditional Custodians of the land & their continuing connection to the lands, waters and skies. AOC also brings greater understanding of connection to place. Yoga philosophy emphasises the connection of body, mind & spirit. Incorporating an Acknowledgement to Country helps ground the yoga practice in the physical location, linking to yogic idea of self connection with a connection to the specific land the practice is being held on, which has been cared for by Indigenous peoples for over 65,000 years. The AOC also brings awareness to the unceded soverereignty of Indigenous Australians and the impact of colonialism, encouraging self-reflection & truth-telling within the yogic community and the larger Australian population. The AOC aligns with the principles of yoga through inviting participants an opportunity of ethical considerations and encouraging such practices of ahimas or non-violence, and satay or truthfulness. AOC embodies non-violence by refusing to ignore the historical and ongoing injustice faced by First Nations peoples and embraces truthfulness by acknowledging the true history of Australia’s longest living, surviving culture of the world.
