Ancestral Wisdom & Community Practice🌿🦋

When I feel lost or hopeless, I call upon my benevolent ancestors. I call upon our first ancestor—the Earth—and lay belly down in the grass. I imagine my grandmother’s hand resting gently on the back of my heart, and her mother’s hand on hers, sending love, warmth, and remembrance through their touch.

I ask them: Please teach me about truth, patience, and compassion. How can I be in service to love and liberation today?

These practices bring quietude and clarity, guiding me with both bold, audacious vision and grounded, everyday wisdom.

🌿 Join Our FREE Community Practice
As we move into the darkest days of the year, I invite you to deepen your connection and attune to ancestral rhythm and wisdom.

🧘‍♀️ Teacher Spotlight: Meet Rebecca Berry

Get ready to be inspired by the wisdom and radical self-acceptance of our incredible instructor, Rebecca Berry! Her slow, intentional style invites you to find liberation simply by listening to your body🙏🏻

Finding Healing and Home on the Mat✨

👉🏻Why Yoga?
Rebecca started yoga after a pregnancy loss, driven by a desire to connect inward and heal. She shares a powerful realization: “I began to believe that if my body could be a home for a potential life, then my body could be home for me too.”

✨Teaching Philosophy: Rebecca’s teaching is slow and intimate. She invites you to listen to your bodies and emotions, stressing that “All shapes are suggestions for folks to accept or decline.” There is no right or wrong—just an invitation to notice sensation and give your body what it requests.

Radical Gentleness and Grounding🦋

✨Gentleness as Activism: Rebecca is intentionally gentle with herself by viewing her body as only one element of who she is, not her sole existence. As a Black q***r woman living in a fat body with invisible disabilities, she finds it radical to be fat and accepting of her body in all its complexities. In her words: “My body is not an apology.”

✨Favorite Shape: Supported Child’s Pose This shape offers deep grounding: “I love the feeling of my body melting over the bolster as a cheek rests gently on a meditation cushion.”

✨Teen Throwback: Her favorite high school show was the classic Law and Order: SVU!

✨Motivation: For Rebecca, practice is a two-way gift. She can give when she has energy or trapped emotions that need release. She can also take by simply showing up on her mat to receive, listen to her body, and go inward when energy is low.

Rebecca welcomes everyone and anyone—all body sizes, identities, and disabilities—to connect inward in a slow and intentional way. Book a class with her! Link in our bio🌿
