“Our enemy is not other people. Our enemy is hatred, violence, discrimination, and fear.”
— Thích Nhất Hạnh
Yoga is not passive.
At its root is ahimsa—non-harming. And that doesn’t just live on the mat. It asks us to pay attention to the harm moving through our systems, our communities, our world—and to not turn away from it.
We are not meant to be silent in the face of violence.
We are not meant to accept harm as normal.
The practice is to stay awake.
To stand in truth.
To choose, again and again, not to feed hatred or fear—but to actively resist them.
This is yoga, too.
