Reha Kumar

Reha Kumar is an award-winning yoga educator from Auckland known for her advocacy in the yoga community regarding animal welfare. She has voiced concerns about the ethics of combining yoga with puppies, arguing that such practices contradict the core principles of yoga, particularly the value of ahimsa, or non-harm. Kumar believes that the inclusion of puppies can distract practitioners from their practice and potentially harm the animals involved, as they may experience stress and inappropriate handling during sessions.
