If the concern is the fact that westerners are erasing South Asians and Hindu-Buddhist identify out of yoga, that will never happen. There's actually "Christian yoga" now, but it's an oxymoron.
Latin culture isn't even your culture. It was brought to you by European colonists. 
Embrace what culture? Most people who do yoga in the west have no idea where yoga is from or what it is and don't care.
