in imageWere y'all expecting Rihanna to be like:
In December of 2021, I began two months of living in Mexico. My parents moved down to the Yucatán right before COVID hit— my brother and his lady lived down there first. It had taken forever to sell my parents home— and the future was looking bright. Then my brother died. Then Leigh died. And my folks were locked in and locked down.
On the one hand, I was glad they were safer there than here. On the other, I was presented with profound grief. Those months in Mexico, replacing my yearly sabbatical to India, provided time with my first and most influential teachers: my mom and dad.
Plus, yoga on their roof looks a lot like some of my other favorite and meaningful roofs.
Having a consistent practice helped anchor me when things were truly terrible. If you’d like to learn a simple set of practices that match your unique needs, feel free to DM.

I had the most wonderful time teaching at @yogashalanashville — such an incredible group of people.
Cory— thank you so much for welcoming me into your home and sharing so much with me! Cory (@coryyoga) and Richard (his wonderful husband), are just the literal best. And boy, I even made a new friend (shout out to Heather @magiccityyogi from @birminghamyoga ).
Thank you so much @yogashalanashville for being so much fun, for being so interested in our work, and for being so darn cool.
Until the next time, Nashville!

I stopped posting to Instagram because I felt fairly certain it was responsible for a great deal of harm that has come to a great number of people.
As a teacher of yoga, I felt irresponsible using it to as a platform to promote the work that i do, knowing that it can do such great harm. So, ya know, I only posted to my stories and basically used it as a way to send memes to like 4 of my besties.
But, ya know, I have an awesome little yoga studio @theyoga.club to promote. And, I want to make more money as a yoga teacher.
So, here I am again, knowingly running the risk of presenting half truths, using pictures as commodities, and banking on the fact that good looks and pretty pictures go a long way.
Wish me luck! How do you all make heads or tails of the ethics around this?

in image"What does the voice of fear whisper to you?
Fear speaks to you in logic and reason. It
assumes the language of love itself. Fear says
'I want to make you safe.' Love says, 'You are
safe.'Fear says, 'Give me symbols. Give me frozen
images. Give me something I can rely on.'
Loving truth says, 'Only give me this moment.'
Fear would walk with you on a narrow path
promising to take you where you want to go.
Love says, 'Open your arms and fly with me.'
Every moment of your life you are offered the
opportunity to choose - love or fear, to tread
the earth or to soar the heavens."

in image"Whenever the government provides opportunities and
privileges for white people and rich people they call it
'subsidies! When they do it for Negro and poor people
they call it 'welfare! The fact is that everybody in this
country lives on welfare. Suburbia was built with
federally subsidized credit. And highways that take our
white brothers out to the suburbs were built with
federally subsidized money to the tune of ninety
percent. Everybody is on welfare in this country. The
problem is that we all too often have socialism for the
rich and rugged free enterprise capitalism for the poor.
That's the problem."--Martin Luther King Jr.
