Yoga for Global Majority (BIPOC)
Details
Yoga for folks of the Global Majority - all levels, body types, and backgrounds welcome. Bring a towel or a mat and flow with us.
Join us on every second Sunday of each month for a yoga practice for Black, Indigenous and People of the Global Majority to reconnect with yoga as the full philosophical and spiritual system it was always meant to be and not the whitewashed version sold back to us.
We'll draw on yoga's deeper teachings (breath, meditation, the yamas and niyamas) as tools for collective healing, in a space where no one needs to explain or justify their presence.
Come as you are, whatever your body and history bring into the room.
All levels welcome. No prior practice, flexibility, or "yoga body" required.
After practice, you’re invited to grab tea/coffee/cake + hang out, talk, connect, build friendships and more. The inspiration to connect beyond the mat comes from the beautiful Yoga Community Project created by Matti in London. If you’re also longing for community here, come be part of this.
This practice is donation based, on a sliding scale from 5e-10e. Due to systems of oppression, we find ourselves financially in different places in our lives. When making a donation, we encourage you to reflect on the privileges or lack of privileges you have and consider the opportunities or lack of opportunities that society, systems, policies, and structures have afforded you based on your caste, race, gender identity, class, sexual orientation, and body ability.
