My Dharma

Picture
from Yoga, The Body, and Embodied Social Change
"In the contemplative yoga practices, we are asked to breathe, notice, and sit with the questions, deeply consider them, and create from them still more questions with 'stretch, resonance, and flexibility.' We must hold this responsibility dear, and not proceed breathlessly profitable in the modern yoga gold rush; as though there was a color blind, post-racial, post-colonial vacuum in which only yoga exists, forcing yoga into the shape of a perfect alibi for whiteness to persist."
// Roopa Kaushik-Brown

My love for yoga cannot be separated from my love for social justice work. It just can't. It would be body without mind & mind without spirit; fragmented and without wholeness. 
And I'm grateful for that. 
My darkness is also my dharma. 
I am flawed, but learning. 
I am compassionate, but sometimes complicit. 
And this is my work. 
This is my heart. 
Thank you to those who understand or work to understand.
