Hello Braveheart!

Welp, we thought 2021 was going to be less of a headache but here we are. Ha!!!! 
I’m glad that I am shifting to serving marginalized communities via health and wellness. I have noticed that a few of my white followers have unsubscribed. That is understandable. 
The events in this country this week are proof that  I am making the right decision to shift and focus on people who are often underserved at best and violently mistreated at worst. 

REGISTRATION for my Winter Classes Closes today.

I have been intrigued by Yoga since childhood and started to dabble in it in college in the early 2000’s and became a yoga teacher in 2007. I also have been studying Buddhism regularly since 2011. One of the Buddhist scholars I look up to the most is Zenju Earthlyn Manuel PhD. I found this article on her website especially inspiring this week.

This is an excerpt from an article on her blog
“Systemic Suffering and the First Noble Truth “

“What is the nature of suffering when you consider racism, sexism, homophobia, and on?

.....
The nature of suffering within systemic oppression is that we are conditioned to not see each other and to act on our lives as individual beings rather than collective. This conditioning leads to not knowing who we are with each other and the confusion and ignorance is not understanding this interrelationship, which leads directly to comparison, notions of superior and inferiority, and ultimately acts of hatred."

There are a few scholarships available for my upcoming winter programs if you are Black or a person of color and have been financially affected due to the pandemic please send me a message HathaHolistic at gmail dot com. There are some generous senior yoga teachers in San Francisco in my community who have made the scholarships possible : )

*I noticed my last email did not include the link of my greeting from the beach. SORRY!

If you have made New Year's intentions to focus on  health + wellness, I think that Yoga is a great way to cultivate wellness for your inner being  and your physical body. Yoga improves posture, clears the mind, tones muscles and bones yadda yadda yadda ... you've heard the spiel!  

If you have any specific questions and are new to yoga please reach out to me and I can arrange a few mins to talk via phone or Zoom. Please send me a  message HathaHolistic@gmail.com

3 days left to RSVP for the upcoming Winter Programs. HAPPY NEW YEAR

I’m sooooo looking forward to this upcoming year. It just feels so darned good to have a new beginning. A fresh start. 


I’m offering two weekly series that are 8 weeks and 1 series that is 3 weeks.
****Attendees will receive a  syllabus  +
handouts to outline what is covered in the classes****


The classes that I offer are great for people who are committed to  developing a regular  practice. I’m interested in moving away from hosting classes that seem like a  revolving door of students. Instead I want to create a safe space for People of Color, Black Folks, for Fat Folks, For Queer Folks. If this sounds like you please join me. With that being said here is my  Winter Semester Schedule.
 


8 week  Hatha Yoga Fundamentals  Series for People of Color  

*** Series limited to 12 participants ***
Tuesdays 6pm - 7pm ( Pacific)
January 12 2021 - March 2 2021 
This series is $97 

To RSVP Click here: https://bit.ly/IntroToHathaYogaForPOC

Class Description - Most Yoga studios are located in upscale  wealthy white neighborhoods and many yoga publications and advertisements feature  mostly  thin white women. I know this trend is changing slowly but surely but  it’s  still important to  create spaces like this exclusively for POC.This is why I am excited about offering De-Colonial ways to practice yoga. My hope is that people of color feel seen, validated and affirmed.
 The Fundmantals class is a space for us to review the foundations of yoga. The class is progressive and we will review the main families of yoga asana Standing Poses, Forward Bends, Back Extensions, Twists , Gentle + Restorative Yoga and Pranayama ( Yogic Breathing) 

8 week series Restorative Yoga for Women of African Descent( *** Series limited to 12 participants ***
Thursdays 6pm - 7pm ( Pacific)
January 14th 2021  - March 4 2021
This series is $97

To RSVP  Click here : https://bit.ly/BlackWomenGentleYoga

Class Description - Over the 13 years that I have been practicing and teaching yoga I’ve come to really enjoy Restorative Yoga. What is often left out of these classes is how stress from systemic racism, misogynoir ( misyogny toward Black Women) are forms of stress that can be depleting and lead to other types of illness. In this class Black Women can learn how gentle  yoga helps wth  
recovery from chronic fatigue, stress from toxic work environments and also helps with sleep, mood and emotional balance. 

3 week series Back Health For Black Folks 
*** Series limited to 8 participants ***
Happy Feet  to support the Low Back
 Wednesdays 
January 20th, 27th + February 3rd
6:30 - 7:30pm  (Pacific)
This series is $40 

To RSVP Click here : https://bit.ly/BlackFolksBackHealth

Class Description -   8 months of shelter in place can be brutal on the upper back, neck + shoulders and low back. Many of us did not have the fancy ergonomic office set up at home  that we had at our work place. There is research that supports that Black Folks are treated differently  by medical professionals than their white counterparts when it comes to addressing chronic pain. This mini series will be a guide and resource highlighting how the feet are the foundation of the body and when they are happy the whole spine is happy : )

The Benefits of Private Sessions - Yoga by appointment works better for some folks if they are not able to make it  my classes. These sessions are tailored to your schedule. Your private session will assess your personal and specific needs and help you with practicing yoga at home on your own. The private session option is great for folks with  variable work schedules, busy parents , executives, entreprenuers /small business owners who want a private environment to enjoy yoga class and are unable to attend weekly group class.
