None of this is normal.

THE SYSTEMATIC DISMANTLING OF DEMOCRACY STANDS IN DIRECT OPPOSITION TO THE YOGIC ETHICS OF AHIMSA (NON-VIOLENCE), SATYA (TRUTH-TELLING), ASTEYA (NON-STEALING), BRAHMACHARYA (RIGHT USE OF ENERGY), AND APARIGRAHA (NON-HOARDING). WE ARE HERE, WE LOVE YOU, AND WE ARE NOT GOING ANYWHERE.

Hi, I’m Michael Joel Hall. I started @dcashtanga as a mysore style ashtanga yoga shala in 2014. I’m sharing best practices for decentralizing authority and creating a more robust, antrifragile community. It’s free, and I’d love you to join if you’re interested. Let me know if you have any trouble with dcashtanga.com

in imageTo study Queer history is to scavenge for pieces of us. To compensate for a lack of records by reading between lines, to find…irregularities. What we lack in historical data we have to make up in imagination. We're in there somewhere.

@laurenashtangayoga | think it's
overly vague, doesn't identify Taylor
Hunt, and doesn't speak to other
levels of abuse beyond sexual. It's a
nothing statement and I fear that it's
meant to preempt further
conversation. I don't trust that it's in
good faith by everyone who signed it. I
would wonder if the people who have
come forward are pleased with it. It is
so tone deaf. I can't imagine that they
are.
