How are you tending to yourselves in this summer heat?This Saturday morning, we’re inviting you to gather in community and soften into practices that cool and soothe - offering care to overheated bodies, racing thoughts and burning emotions.In this season, the fire element is strong. Pitta energy can heighten feelings like anger, rage, urgency, control and self criticism. With everything unfolding in the world, many of us may already feel close to the edge of that intensity. Personally - I do. And we don’t want to extinguish this fire. Pitta is also what fuels our passion, our clarity, our courage and our deep sense of justice. It’s what moves us toward action and collective liberation. But when that fire burns too intensely, it can consume us leaving us depleted, reactive and overwhelmed.Our practices this summer season are an invitation to tend the fire, not suppress it. To cultivate steadiness, clarity and spaciousness so that our energy can be directed toward sustainable, grounded action.Join us this Saturday as we explore cooling, supportive practices together as ways to regulate, reconnect and nourish ourselves so we can continue showing up for ourselves and each other.🌿 Donation based 🔆 Sign up link in bio#yoga #barcelona #decolonise #liberation by @dilberzyle

Pause for a moment and ask yourself: How has patriarchy shaped the teachings of yoga?We invite you to notice what arises when you sit with that question.Does it bring up curiosity? Resistance? Recognition? Grief? Anger? Hope?In her book "Yoga as Embodied Resistance" Anjali shares:In a land where goddess worship is traced back to the Harappan Civilization, and where Bhakti traditions to this day are celebrated with great reverence, we might ask: where are the women, the fems, the AFAB voices in the lineages and traditions of yoga? And why is it that so often one must dig through academic tomes to find them?As agriculture became tied to property, inheritance and the protection of wealth, gender relations were increasingly shaped by systems that centered cis men, controlled women’s bodies and secured lineage through patriarchal norms. Patriarchy is not a side note in this history - it is a structure that has deeply influenced what is remembered, what is taught and who is seen as a legitimate knower.Patriarchy seeps through all aspects of culture, including the teachings of yoga. And when patriarchy meets caste, the exclusions deepen: access to spiritual authority, education and bodily autonomy becomes even more restricted.This is why it matters that modern yoga practitioners remain discerning about the intergenerational norms and values that may be internalised in our practice, our teaching and our communities.If you are already reading or listening to Anjali’s work, we invite you to share your reflections in the comments:🔆 How has patriarchy shaped who is seen as a “legitimate” knower or teacher in yoga traditions?🔆 In what ways do caste and patriarchy reinforce each other in shaping access to spiritual authority, education, and bodily autonomy?🔆 What responsibilities do yoga teachers have when teaching a tradition shaped by caste violence and patriarchy?JOIN the live book reading and Q&A with Anjali on 5 August at 7pm BST.

We’re gathering voices for something bigger than us.With a group of friends - collaborators we are working on a project that aims to bring together a global movement to decolonise wellness.We’ve created two short (3-minute) surveys:- One for folks from marginalised communities- One for practitioners offering decolonial & accessible wellbeingThis is about naming the realities:‼️ How access to wellness is shaped by structural inequality‼️ And how practitioners doing this work are navigating systems that oppresses themIf this resonates with you, we’d really value your voice.You can take the survey or share it with your communities.Links are in bio.Your input will help shape a project rooted in visibility, access, and sustainability for this work.Thank you for being part of this.#decolonise #wellness #global #movement #survey by @dilberzyle

BIPOC yoga is on this sunday at 10:00 am, in a shady, grassy spot in the park so we’re not fighting the sun the whole time.we’re in pitta season - summer heat, bright light, a lot of intensity. for many of us, that lands on top of the heat we already live with: racism, policing, constant vigilance. it can show up as feeling overheated, inflamed, headaches, gut issues, and also irritability, anger, sharpness, burnout, or the sense that you have to keep going even when you’re done. this practice is meant to meet that reality, not talk you out of it.we’ll center:💨 cooling breath to help the body + nervous system turn the temperature down a bit🌳 slow, grounded, mostly low-to-the-ground movement🧘🏾‍♂️ yin + restorative shapes to give anger, grief, and exhaustion a softer place to land (without trying to “fix” them)🤎 a BIPOC-only space where you don’t have to perform, translate, or be “okay” to belongSign up link in bio by @dilberzyle
