YOGA IS MY SAFE SPACE ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ 🧘🏼

YOGA IS MY SAFE SPACE ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
🧘🏼‍♀️ It’s the space I go to when life feels insane and unsafe.⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣⁣
🧘🏼‍♀️ It’s the space where I can build community and make new friends every single day. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
🧘🏼‍♀️ It’s the space where no matter the circumstances, I can come home to it, because this yoga practice is ALWAYS within me. ⁣⁣⁣

Reminder to self:⁣
It is okay to receive.⁣
⁣
A beautiful friend gifted me with guidance this evening.🔮⁣
⁣
So I’m writing this to say thank you for the beautiful gift and the opportunity to receive. 🙏⁣
⁣
I realized that I haven’t been sharing much lately because I’m moving through a lot at the moment. 🤸🏼‍♀️ ⁣
⁣
I’ve been feeling lost yet found more and more each day while juggling a health issue I never thought I would experience. 😝⁣
⁣
Turns out you can eat all the veggies, meditate and make all the shapes with your body and still get sick occasionally. 🤷🏼‍♀️⁣
⁣
I’m really thankful for where I’m at on my journey and the plant paradise I get to teach in everyday. ⁣
⁣
I’m learning hard lessons right now and I’ve decided on a global level that I don’t like this pandemic. And that I can live and teach in paradise yet still be upset at pandemics. ❌⁣
⁣
It’s a thing. And it’s okay. 👌🏼⁣
⁣
It’s okay to have such beauty in our lives yet deal with the heaviness of being human at the same time. ⁣
⁣
So many people in my life right now are experiencing loss on some level and I just want to say I see you and I’m moving and breathing with you. ⁣
⁣
Life is hard right now for everyone on different levels and mindsets and I just hope that we’re all being extra kind to ourselves. 🥰⁣
⁣
What a beautiful life with occasional (or sometimes many) hard moments we all get to BE and love through.❤️⁣
⁣
I don’t have much else to say right now except this:⁣
⁣
You are supported.⁣
You are held.⁣
You are loved.⁣
You are loved.⁣
You are loved. ⁣
⁣
And that’s all that matters.💞

WHITE SUPREMACY IN YOGA ‼️‼️⁣⁣ ⁣⁣

WHITE SUPREMACY IN YOGA ‼️‼️⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I want to write something wise, inspiring and powerful, but all I can fathom and share right now is that it’s wrong to travel to other countries and take their cultures and heritage with us as an experience and then stay silent in the face of white supremacy. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It’s wrong to use terms like “Namaste” in our yoga classes while people from the country where this word originated are harassed, abused or murdered for living true to their culture and saying and using this word correctly when so many Westerners say and use it in a way that disrespects a country and culture or even worse profit from it. ❌⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It’s wrong to take what we want from a country and culture and then say nothing when a white man kills people from a country and people we ultimately profited from. ❌⁣⁣
⁣⁣
MY YOGA TEACHERS 🧘🏼‍♀️🧘🏾‍♀️🧘🏻‍♂️🧘🏿‍♂️⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Are we talking about social equity and justice in our yoga classes?🗣⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Are we teaching about white supremacy in yoga and how to eliminate it in our teacher trainings? ⁣⁣🗣
⁣⁣
Are we having those uncomfortable conversations when a student or teachers does or says something racist in front of us? 🗣⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Are we using our voice and movement to uplift ALL communities and not just those with white privilege?
⁣⁣
Tell me ⬇️ below ⬇️ how you are using your privilege as a yoga teacher to be anti-racist and stand up for people who do not look, speak or move like you.🦿🦾🦻🏼👩🏿‍🦯🧘🏽‍♀️⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Let’s inspire each other by using our voices for good and telling white supremacy that it has NO place in the yoga industry. 🚫🗣⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Are you with me my yoga loves?🙋‍♀️⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Are you ready to say fuck white supremacy and do everything in your power and privilege to defeat this in the yoga industry and outside of it too?🙋🏽‍♀️⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Drop me a 🔥 then tell me what you’re doing to be an example of anti-racism in your yoga community. ⬇️
