This is a mommy appreciation post. My parents were in their 70s when they decided to move to Mexicoโ€” and somehow now theyโ€™re in their 20s. It is a great blessing of this life to love your parents and be loved by them, and the older I get the more I appreciate that. One of my favorite things about my mom is that my friends call her Mama Hall, cause i think they know immediately how loved they are. Itโ€™s neat. Sheโ€™s just like that, full of love and grace, while also being very, very funny. I try to talk to mom and dad for a good while every week, and I think I see mom more now than I have since I was a teenager.

Love you mommy! @gail.hall.927

Hereโ€™s some stuff that made me stop and feel.

I save a lot of things that make me laugh, think, and cry. Here are a few of them. I have to get them off this phone! Im hacking my old Wii U for fun, and Iโ€™m out of memory for games and I just canโ€™t add any more to my iCloud in good conscience.

Iโ€™m inspired by @gayunclemario2 โ€” heโ€™s always posting fire memesโ€” but also because I saw this one episode of Geraldo when I was a kid with a bunch of club kid freaks. I was maybe 14-15? I kinda knew I was one of them, but didnโ€™t know really what that meantโ€ฆ to be honest, i now know it just meant that I was gonna make bold outfits, listen to Madonna remixes and teach yoga โ€” all while trying to help other people find freedom from this ridiculous trap we call society. Mario was on that episode (or maybe itโ€™s all a fever dream now).

So hereโ€™s some stuff to look at while I finish my โ€œMagneto was Rightโ€ essay. Find more at michaeljoelhall.com

I'm so sick of the "well we have to find joy
the midst of destruction" conversation. Ya
tell on yourselves every time. The truth is
"joy" lies in chasing the material, looking
and obsessing over fame and celebrity ins
of in cultivating community and standing
against its oppression and destruction. Th
truth is a lot of y'all don't want this system

Hereโ€™s some stuff I do in order to wrestle with the nature of reality and the infinite. Itโ€™s mostly stuff to affect physiological change towards general well being layered with meditation and mindset. These disparate systems encourage an emergence of something greater than the sum of their parts. It looks some kinda way.

I love sharing yoga and I think it shows. Hereโ€™s a peek in at a private coaching session with @mikematspace at @theyoga.club โ€” Weโ€™re doing a study on shoulder movements that will enhance backbends, twists and binds. I didnโ€™t wanna blow up his spot here, but I thought I looked extra muppety so I had to share.

These sessions are super fun โ€”
You can book a session with me from michaeljoelhall.com โ€” itโ€™s very straightforward ๐Ÿ™‚

My friend from @theyoga.club Liz @lizzoouli suggested I record my practice to check in on some asymmetries I'm balancing. Sheโ€™s worried I donโ€™t get enough time with a teacher for myself. I broke my ankle and rib last year getting hit by a bicyclist, and my wrist about a year before that getting hit by a car. I am really proud of my generally good attitude, outside of one meltdown phone call ( thanks @made_by_mara !!). Yoga has instilled patience and persistence, pragmatism and a solutions focused growth mindset. 10/10, would recommend. The yoga, that is. The getting hit by stuff is a 2/10.

If you need some support in your practice or healing journey, hmu. This stuff works.

From Violence to Visionโ€” Using Ashtanga Yoga to dismantle systemic oppression and promote healing.

This articles contains reflections from my enriching experience in Birmingham, Alabama and Nashville, Tennessee, alongside friends like Heather Sullivan and Cory Bryant.

Uh, oh! MJH is posting about hate crimes on main!

This explains the appeal of systems thinking after a life-altering hate crime. Ashtanga Yoga can be a vehicle for inclusivity and empathy, challenging entrenched systems of oppression.

Letโ€™s talk about it.

in imageAt last, there was the possibility of a learning community, a place
where difference could be acknowledged, where we would finally all
understand, accept, and affirm that our ways of knowing are forged
in history and relations of power. Finally, we were all going to break
through collective academic denial and acknowledge that the
education most of us had received and were giving was not and is
never politically neutral.
