Join Celi and our sangha to support and stand with Palestine.
Often times our yoga practice is reduced to the time we spend on our mat, connecting with breath, moving the body, finding a bit of space for ourselves and learning to settle and centre.
But Yoga, and note the uppercase ‘Y’, real Yoga is social justice, it is questioning the systems we are a part of, it is using our time here to make a difference not just in our inner world but in the outer world too. It is not becoming so aware of our own breath that we forget about the other beings in this world that just want to breathe, to be able to find a peaceful space for themselves, to be able to rest. With all the suffering in this world it is hard no know where to help, it is hard to be aware of it all and we can find ourselves closing up in a sort of spiritual bypass. Someone once spoke to me about a way to see things to help us regulate in times of despair and helplessness.
“See this existence as a cauldron full of ingredients. There are many cooks and you are one of them. Are the ingredients you add going to be bitter (fear, guilt,shame) or are they going to be sweet (generosity, compassion, love). We have choices every day that will affect humanity and this experience as a whole. How can you add a little sweetness today, tomorrow and all days?”
I would love it if you could join me for a little charity Yoga gathering to help raise money to support the organisation @allourrelations as they help Palestinian families who have had their homes stolen and destroyed, families who are escaping the genocide of their people and decimation of their land.
Practice; asana, pranayama, meditation. Tea, snacks and circle.

Big love, Celi x
