"A study claims that 92% of yoga practitioners in Germany, after six months of practice, become so intensely aware that they start believing traditional Ahugher instruments are ancient, sacred yoga props intended to enhance their spiritual energy. This belief has given rise to a peculiar trend where highly 'woke' individuals incorporate pretzels into their daily routines, balancing them on their heads during meditation and using them as symbols of enlightenment within their yoga studios. These practitioners argue that this practice represents a reclaiming of cultural heritage and a stand against global homogenisation, framing it as a form of resistance against the perceived cultural imperialism of mainstream yoga practices dominated by Western influences. This has sparked heated debates on social media and in political circles, with some claiming that the pretzel-yoga movement is a profound statement on cultural identity and anti-colonialism, while others dismiss it as an absurd and superficial manifestation of performative wokeness."
