Yoga isn't about what bodies can look like in asana—or after years of practice. Yoga at its best is about how we can feel—deeply, profoundly, connected. bodymapsyoga.com
This country arose out of insatiable greed + body-based violence. Rape of the land, rape of the people. As a survivor & body-based healer for other survivors, I urge you to keep talking about it. Healing begins as flashes of insight, memory, possibility. And as words. Vibrations. Movements.
Feeling dissatisfied is not a personal failing. It's by design. Capitalism creates dissatisfaction so we will spend money, constantly seeking to end the feeling of dissatisfaction. Fascism leaves us feeling even more. Enraged. Fearful. Isolated. By design. Get wise to these ways. FEEL WHAT YOU FEEL.
Manifest in ways you’ve not yet experienced in this two-part workshop, Friday evenings in November. www.bodymapsyoga.com/service-page...

If you’re waiting for a door to open, get out your tools and build one. And may take you everywhere you’re longing to go.
The sound of everything—of the universe itself—is aum (sometimes seen as om in English translations). If you ever feel lost, you can forever find your way back by saying or humming this sound. Feel it vibrate through you, calming your nervous system and opening new channels of light and insight.
As your intuition strengthens, you will see everything as a metaphor/message. The body gets our attention with pain, illness & something not yet satisfied. Learn to interpret these signals instead of fighting or fleeing from them. The world is the same way. Ask, what is this suffering showing us?
I keep thinking about how my 17-year old nephew recently landed his first girlfriend. This energy, this level of consent and creativity and celebration. The kids are alright. ❤️❤️
Farewell to the great Wendell Berry. Remember — though you have done nothing shameful, they will want you to be ashamed.
“And the truth is that as a man's real power grows and his knowledge widens, ever the way he can follow grows narrower: until at last he chooses nothing, but does only and wholly what he must do.” from the Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K. le Guin

To be free, create + insist on freedom in every form. Notice and begin letting go of dependencies, even the little ones. Daily coffee. The ways you move your body, and the was you hold it still. Let go of all you think you know. Let insights and surprises arise.
The National Sexual Assault Conference is off to a strong start with talks this morning by Epstein Survivor Liz Stein and Founder of the metoo movement Tarana Burke. It’s great to be back in DC this week to learn, connect, and engage in this important work. 💙
Each day we are inundated with examples of evil, sordid bullshit. It is sensory assault. On top of all the regular assault. Sometimes it feels hard to breathe. But I keep looking for—and creating—opposites in every way that I can. I keep creating love. I hope you do too. 💜
We can ask the body how it feels. And we can teach it how we want it to feel. It is all a conversation, not of words, but of the very things that make up words. The very things that make up everything. Vibrations. Inner knowing. Ask and answer. Keep going.
Breath is HOW we are here—how we are alive. I believe it is also WHY we are here—to learn to breathe fully, fervently within us and with all that surrounds us. Each other. This Earth. Breathe and be here. And that’s all.
To ever end anything, you must first admit that it exists.
The language of the universe is symbols, patterns, interruptions, repetitions. If you aren’t yet sensing what the universe is saying, start by slowing things. You move it all with your breath. Let go of holding, having, and performing. Inhale. See. Exhale. Hear. Keep going. Ask. Answer. Seek. Know.
