Ima be real with you all.
My original vision for this series was for it to be a welcoming of the Spring season. As I crafted a description using words like "fresh beginnings" and "blooming", I couldn't help but feel like it was a little off the mark when considering the current cultural climate in which we find ourselves. A climate where there is uncertainty at best and utter despair at worst.
I got an email from , whose work in decolonizing yoga I deeply admire, reminding me that now is the time when yoga is more needed than ever. To quote her below:
"Yoga has never been about bypassing pain - it’s about meeting it.
🔥 The breath that steadies us so we can stay in the fight.
🔥 The discipline that keeps us showing up, even when it’s messy.
🔥 The practice that teaches us to hold rage, grief, love, and resilience all at once.
Listen, this is what yoga is for.
Right now, a lot of people feel helpless.
And let’s be real - those trying to control this world want us to feel that way.
Because if we feel powerless, we don’t act.
We stay numb. We stay complicit. We "send thoughts and prayers" and move on.
But real yoga reminds us that we are not powerless.
We are made for this."
So I am taking a risk and offering up a yoga series where we will not spiritually bypass the world, but explore together how the practice and teachings of yoga can support us in meeting the world.
I'm no expert in this, but will be drawing inspiration and guidance from Susanna and others who are tapping into the power of yoga to navigate turbulent times.
If you are interested in exploring yoga in this way, then consider joining me for this series! Just to be clear, the classes will be mostly asana (physical poses) with wisdom teachings integrated throughout. There will be a variety of options for you to choose from according to what you wish to get out of the series and what suits your body best.
