And Exhale...

Hello Dearest Ones and greetings from Telluride,CO. For the most part I had a beautiful long weekend here nestled within the mountains with friends old and new. Unfortunately, four days of celebration and raising of vibration was marred by the conservatives on the Supreme Court's decision to take away women's rights and set the country back 50 years.

Like many of you, I will always remember where I was when Roe was overturned: I woke up to the news via text from my friend and teacher Amy Ippoliti. We were set to teach at 8:00 AM MT and during the 13 minute gondola ride up and down the mountain, we had to formulate how to be the ones who could possibly be breaking the news to the students in the most empathetic of ways.

When Amy announced the news to a room that was 95% female, there were audible gasps and tears. Our practice took on a new and greater purpose....

The photo above was taken after Faith Hunter's class (she is the woman standing to the right of me). Faith also changed her class plan that morning and held space for us to move, breathe, and most catharticly scream. We are the goddesses looking forward to move forward. Remember, no one rescued Durga, she rescued herself and will do the same for us -- but only if we unite.

Tomorrow (Monday 6/27) is a travel day for me, so all classes are suspended. We will have class this Thursday at 9:00 AM and you can register at this link: https://www.toembodyyoga.com/offerings

Jai Durga Maa!
