I’m tired of seeing highly curated yoga photos, featuring a narrow range of body types, taken in exotic locations, wearing expensive fitness clothing, and showcasing largely advanced asana that might make Ashtanga specifically, and yoga in general, seem unapproachable.
For Our Mothers, Sisters, Daughters
Let's become the antidote to what we observe on the global stage. Let's exalt each other. Let's grow in our care of each other. Listen more closely. Respond more kindly. When we experience dissonance, let's bring reconciliation. When we feel unseen, let's seek a friend's affirming gaze. When our bodies suffer injustice or fundamental misunderstanding -- let's grow our voices and strengthen the inner call to dignity and love.

It is the vital fluid that keeps all relationships, regardless of their depth or duration, salient and purposeful.
