> Just like most western yoga studios are LGBTQ friendly and many Hindus are not.

That is false. Please don't spread this myth. The homophobia is mostly a social hangover from colonial times. Steps are being taken to change that, and it should go away with time.

Glad it is improving but I don’t see how “many Hindus are not” is false?

Also blaming pretty much everything bad on colonialism is a pretty tired excuse.
