It’s not every day I walk into a new space and it feels like home… When the yoga studio that raised me closed years ago, it felt like the end of an era. @sacredbrooklyn was the most beautifully diverse, welcoming, body and sex-positive yoga community I have ever witnessed. I would not be the person or teacher I am now without the years I spent in that space. When I heard former Sacred teacher and student Aqila @efa_enneagramfloweralchemy would be hosting a reunion at her studio in Bedstuy this weekend, I knew I had be there! The moment I landed on my mat, I felt it…home. As I rolled my hips, stripped off gloves and fluttered feathers in Sacred Burlesque with @chicava, I remembered the joy of tapping into sensual, creative and playful energy. Then rainy Sunday morning chanting and moving in Bhakti Flow with @ollie.henry1, whose teaching is grounded in accessible and trauma informed practice, was a balm to my nervous system. Since relocating with my family from BK to rural upstate NY, a lot of my personal practice is at home or online. But this weekend reminded me how much of the practice beyond asana benefits from live, human interaction. Yamas and niyamas play out in our relationships with one another. When we practice pranayama or meditate together in space held and guided by a teacher, it’s powerful. The deep connection, eye to eye and soul to soul that happens in a community of practice is wild…no small talk, no bs, just true hearts. I’ve been missing this. I’m forever grateful to @daragay, @stephaniebattleyoga, @brooklynicoler and so many others for what Sacred was, and to Aqila, @dmanifest and @iamafstac for carrying the tradition forward. If you’re in Bedstuy and seeking a humble community-minded space, deeply rooted in ancestral knowledge and lineage, consider dropping in to practice at @soulworkstudio…and I will meet you there for the next Sacred reunion! 🙏🏻❤️🖤🔥 by @chicava
