About
a yogic worldview
it’s all yoga, baby is a blog about yoga and other things, with a mission to spark conversation and inquiry into the practice. Roseanne Harvey (the main voice behind the blog) is known for questioning, provoking thought and shining a critical light on yoga culture ~ while celebrating community, service, creativity, the independent spirit and good ol’ fun. She believes in the yoga of service and engaged living, and this blog is a space to put forward an expansive view of what yoga is and can be. This is the world seen through a yoga-informed lens.
Roseanne is a writer, editor and geeky girl who lives and loves life in Montreal. As the former editor of ascent magazine, Roseanne isn’t afraid to use her media literacy skills to call out the hypocrisies and contradictions of modern yoga. She is all for dismantling the dominant hegemony of rock star teachers, expensive class fees and designer clothes/accessories/products. She also loves supporting progressive yoga projects, innovative and independent teachers, and general awesomeness.
Rather infamous for being an overt voice against the commercialization of yoga, these days Roseanne is more interested in how yoga intersects with daily life, activism, politics and culture. While still fascinated by the ramifications of the popularity of yoga and its representation in popular culture, she has faith that yoga will maintain its integrity.
