ONE CULT AT A TIME

way better than my essay

the inspo for my reel.

I have not listened to the album, thanks for asking (nobody asked ).

Appreciating Ashtanga yoga as an indigenous insight practice means understanding that the practice is interconnected to the place that its from, those people, that topography, and that culture. These practices have to be adapted so they are honest and efficacious as part of your culture/community— and what works in one place won’t work in another. Lots on this subject at dcashtanga.com

my pdc gym is a vibe ❤️❤️

logan is a strangely similar vibe

this is what maggie was responding to.

Led primary today featured chill afrobeats. Once a season or so, I play music. Today was inspired by the joys of cultural exchange. Its a full vibe to cultivate gratitude and appreciation for the privilege to taste the fruits of other lands.

I haven’t had time for 26 + 2 in months and months but I always have time for this.

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

If doing the right thing were always profitable, everyone would always do it. But just because it isn’t doesn’t mean it can’t be.

A lack of integrity will show itself. Follow the money. Who has a platform AND a pattern of betting on bad horses? It’s our job as community members to be paying attention.

Who is historically responsible for platforming bad actors? Have they made any concessions about their learning journey? Or is it all just a litttttttte too on-message?

Where is the reparation? Where is the reconciliation?

Look around at who has not taken real responsibility for the reinforcing loops of bad behavior in their systems. Especially when they want to take credit for or be a part of a balancing loop. Of course it feel inauthentic. It is.

As a community, we have a history to look at. Who didn’t blow whistles— and perhaps most importantly: Why not?

What forces are at play?
communal complicitness,
clout-protecting players, or systemic silencing?

I think its a bit of each.

Theres a theory that people want strong male leaders instinctually because of their value to survival for our ancient kin. Brian Klaas posits that we call authoritarian leadership “Strong Man Tactics” for that very reason.

As a big, strong, dude— i get how this might be inconvenient news.

According to Antwerp School of Business: “Research shows that introverted leaders are often better equipped to tackle complex problems than their extroverted counterparts. They tend to be more open to others’ input and create space for collective collaboration.”

As a gregarious person, I can see how this might be inconvenient news.

They continue: “This is essential because solving complex challenges requires collective leadership. Leaders who can unite diverse perspectives and co-create solutions are best positioned to address today’s pressing issues.

Yet, despite the need for collaboration and diversity, we continue to favor outdated leadership models centered on strength and dominance. This is not what we need now, but it’s what we keep choosing.”

in order to not find an entropy towards accumulating power without earning it through service, I remain mindful of these sentiments. it doesn’t cost me anything to do that, I’m still as good as I ever was. I just come in this package.

Look around at your community: is there a narrative of inclusion and openness? Do you see it reflected in diversity of membership? What about community thought leaders? Leadership?

I used to say that teachers should never sleep with their students. I still feel that way broadly, but a number of people in mentorship roles and friendship roles have had long, long relationships with former students. My teacher cremated her husband last year, him being perhaps my dearest heart’s teacher. She was his student 20 years ago.

Time delays in a system can help highlight the difference between a pragmatic, transparent room with agency and a room with an authoritarian vibe. Are sexual relations between leaders and community members given clear protocols for safety? Generally, i think not. This is not a efficacious strategy.

I think the best bet is don’t sleep with your students, I think the second best bet is make sure that there is a transparency and accountability if a relationship starts.

I’m no HR expert, but your yoga teacher probably didn’t go to seminary school to hear all this. And anyway, its not like that has a 100% score, either. We can anticipate and intervene better, I think when we remain pragmatic and transparent.
