Join us at BRFS for this Saturday Series workshop, on September 30th from 1pm-3pm

Our Restorative Yoga teacher Christopher Hirsh will lead this exploration into the how’s and why’s of relaxation.

Combining yoga, stretching techniques, breath exercises, functional movement, and experiential exercises, this class will provide a fun, curious, and playful environment for us to learn tools we can apply in all areas of our lives to aid in recovery, sleep better, and maybe just feel a little more rested.

This class will involve exercises in which we practice self-massage, as well as consent based hands-on adjustments and touch, we will move with effort as well as spend time resting in stillness, please wear loose, covering layers.

Back after last weeks break - Class descrip👇🏻links in bio 👆🏻

Hatha is traditionally translated as cultivating energy through conscious movement of the body, or ‘force’. Practicing asanas, poses, and functional movements is a way to study and understand qualities of being in our bodies. In the west, classes called Hatha are usually paced ‘slower,’ staying in shapes for 2-3 breaths per movement. Focused on a balance of effort and ease, slower than a traditional ‘Vinyasa Flow,’ this is an excellent class for students of all levels.

Restorative, similar to Yin Yoga, is a slow, relaxation-oriented offering. With supported poses held for more time, this practice is excellent for slowing down and tending to the nervous system, allowing space to breathe and be.

What does it mean to grow our work in a time of collective trauma, distress, upheaval, and heartache?

What does it mean to engage in branding and marketing from an anti-oppression, social change-oriented lens?

What does it mean to feel into the pulse of the collective, to pause in moments of hardship, to center marginalized communities, and to tend and restore our individual and communal nervous systems while also seeking to thrive in our work?

These are some of the questions we’ll be exploring in our September offering, Bringing Wellness Home: Regenerative & Equitable Practice for Self-care, Marketing, Branding, & Growth.

This five-day online immersion will feature keynote speakers and who will share about Social Location and Social Justice and Karma Yoga: The Path of Action, respectively.

We’ll begin each day with grounding, ritual, movement, and mindfulness practices, and then move into conversations about sustainable marketing, equity statements, and more, guided by myself, .rahman , , , and

Hey. Your outrage is medicine. Your feelings are medicine. If you have a uterus you do not deserve this, you are worthy and sacred. I love you. Here are some memes. Let's get better than we have been, together❤️

🎥🔊•📝• the capital now • in these moments things crystallize • the whole project is rotten to its core • we act accordingly • reporting by .potash on Twitter • “This is what’s heading to Supreme Court right now.”

I am so EXCITED to announce this little 🐛 that is becoming a 🦋

Growing our yoga and wellness work in the world can seem like a daunting endeavor, especially since most of us aren’t given adequate training to learn about branding and marketing practices.

What’s more, systems like capitalism and white supremacy would have us believe that we must always be selling and that we must have a “perfectly” manicured brand before we launch any aspect of our work.

The truth is that marketing is really all about relationship-building and that branding is actually a process of reflecting on your identities; this work informs the important choices you make with fonts, colors, and logos, aligning the creative process with your values.

What if, instead of succumbing to dominant narratives infused with transaction, sales pitches, and the belief that there’s “one right way,” we instead learn to approach our marketing and branding in equitable, sustainable ways?

What if we learn to center rest, self-study, self- and collective-care while navigating a capitalist world and culture?

And what if we challenge the capitalist commodification of self-care and reclaim it as the radical practice it truly is—and truly must be if we are to make liberatory change in the world?

In this five-day online immersion, we’ll do just that…and more…

Additional context for my previous post.

Image IDs:

Image 1 is Lt Commander La Forge making a hard pass gesture at Obama’s weird imperialist open letter on Ukraine that ignores the obvious parralels in current and historical US behavior as if Russian aggression is somehow an oddity, and then making a ‘yes that’ gesture to a tweet from @/nickwestes that says simply, “No war.”

Image 2 is a tweet from @/sahouraxo that says: “Facts that won’t be mentioned in Western media: The CIA staging a coup in Ukraine in 2014 The US arming neo-Nazis in militias in Ukraine Kiev’s daily shelling of Donbass civilians Kiev refusing to implement the Minsk Agreements NATO lying to Russia about it’s eastwards expansion”

Image 3 is a a tweet from @/PplsCityCouncil saying “lots of war talk on the timeline. Do you ever wonder why it *looks* like the police in this country are at war with us? The United States Police spending ranks third among worldwide military expenditures.” Followed by a horizontal graph showing at the top the rankings: US military #1 at $731Bn extending OFF the graph, China #2 at $261Bn, US police forces #3 at $118.8Bn, India and Russia #4 and #5 at $71Bn and $65Bn respectively

Image four is a tweet from @/Plz_Relax_ saying “Any serious anti-imperialist must be against war with Russia, must support revolutionary defeatism, and must understand the role that US imperialism, NATO expansion, and western support of neo-nazis has played to create this crisis.”

Image 5 is a tweet from @/rechelon saying “NEVER forget that when Chris Humphreys kicked a homeless man to death and shot a 12 year old girl with a beanbag gun virtually the entirety of the Portland Police Bureau marched in the streets of Portland with t-shirts reading ‘I am Chris Humphreys.’ THEY TOLD US WHO THEY ARE” The tweet is accompanied with a photo of the march, filled with individuals and signs.

So funny right guys how hilarious what a funny meme

Colonization and imperial possession of the other through violent means will not stop y’all, it’s not stopping. Major cities are being bombed, lands dispossessed, advocates for peace silenced yes in history but also now. Now.

To even say major cities feels ugly to me. I say it because I hope and pray it will get your attention but bombs are falling in many, many places and have been, essentially unabated, for over a century. Now that it’s a metropolitan “major” European city, presumably full of mostly white people, folks suddenly wake up and shout “No!”

I have a careful eye for straw man arguments (google “straw man logical fallacy” if you don’t know this reference), and despite my Aries sun, I try as best I can to keep a lid on my natural tendencies toward hyperbole.

And, I do not believe I am effecting a hyperbole when I say: if you have ever said or wondered, “well I would have been different during the Nazis” but you are not radically and loudly anti-war and anti-oppression NOW, then you have your answer.

This is the same bully violence misshapen bent disgusting callous power grab that the world witnessed almost a century ago now and then pretended was gone. It never was. Ukraine, Texas, Florida, Palestine, US imperial forever wars, Famine in Afghanistan, South Sudan, Syria, Yemen, the list goes on you know it does, ALL of this never left, it got worse and we looked away in our comfort.

Additionally, we are SURROUNDED by white supremacist violence that IS and REVERES Naziism. A disabled woman in her 60’s was shot point-blank in the head in Portland, OR for NOTHING, and the cops did everything they could to blame the victims and shift the narrative in favor of the murderer. They mostly got away with it too. Like they do every time.
