Repost💫

Meditation is the heart of yoga, and the yoga practices are designed to lead you into a meditative state.

Often it can feel overwhelming or challenging to build a personal meditation practice, but the good news is that the various paths of yoga make meditation naturally accessible.

If you’re ready to explore the benefits and techniques of meditation in a safe, accessible, and effective way, then this invitation is for you:

Join Jivana Heyman Jivana Heyman for a new online course—Yoga Meditation, based on his forthcoming new book—exploring the practice of meditation in the yoga tradition. You’ll experience practices that support you in working with your mind and building a personal meditation practice. Plus, if you’re a yoga teacher, you’ll learn skills to help share meditation with your students.

Yoga Meditation 🌊
Building an Accessible Practice Through Traditional Techniques
- 16-hour live online training
- November 19-December 17
- Mondays & Thursdays
- 10am-12pm PT
- Payment plans and partial scholarships are available!

RUN FOR THE 215 🧡
On September 30, we run for the 215 children whose remains were found at the former Kamloops Residential School in British Columbia.

But this run is about more than a number.
It is about remembrance. It is about survivors. It is about the children who never came home. And it is about the generations of Indigenous families who continue to carry this history.

🧡Run or walk 2.15 miles (3.46 km) wherever you are, whenever you can.
🧡No registration. No cost. No barriers.
Just movement, remembrance, and solidarity.
🧡 Wear orange if you can.
🧡 Invite your family, friends, running community, or team.
🧡 Share your miles and your stories.
🧡 If you’re able, consider making a donation to the Indian Residential School Survivors Society. (Link in bio)

We run to remember.
We run to honor survivors.
We run because every child matters.

September 30. 2.15 miles. Anywhere. Anytime.🧡 Please share 🙏🏽

Virtual Remembrance Run 2026

hosted by distance runner @ku_stevens in collaboration with @remainingnative

We are thrilled to be able to host a virtual option for this year’s Remembrance Run.
We hope you can join us in person, but for those who cannot make it, we invite you to join us by laying down prayers with your feet.
The Remembrance Run is a prayerful journey, not a protest, and we will begin and end with peace and respect for one another.
It’s a non-competitive, medicine wheel approach, so we invite people of all backgrounds to trek with us.

Some will walk, some will run, and some will complete all 50 miles alongside Kutoven.
With this virtual option, we invite you to complete any range of mileage from 1 -50 over the course of these nine days.
You can track your miles over time or complete just one run. All proceeds from this virtual run will go towards supporting the Remaining Native impact campaign and bringing running camps and screenings to youth across Turtle Island.

Update💫
Hola beloveds,
I have been super lowfi in
online engagement
& my life overall has been on a pause …

A few months ago I was diagnosed with Peripheral Neuropathy and auditory neuropathy ( a possible cochlear implant candidate)…
And continuing with more in-depth cardiology testing this month ( so far so good💓💫).
As shown in wearing my current heart monitor until Agosto 3rd❣️
Next up a echocardiogram
🎉🫀✊🏽🎉❣️

I am greatful for the guidance and service of my dear GP this last year,
Dr.Harvey Maksvytis at El Rio Golflinks Health Clinic,
I have been immersed in medical care, MRI, ultrasounds
Lab/blood work, mammograms,
neurology and audiology testing…
I am grateful to have had access to Arizona’s AHCCCS medical insurance this year.
I thank @elriohealth and @tmchealthaz for their care and support.

I would also like to lift up and express deep appreciation of the Holistic care I am engaged in with acupuncture, herbalism, Fascia stretch therapy ( FST), cranial sacral therapy, chiropractic/PT care.
Thank you to @yongshengherbs for your guidance and assistance recently🙏🏽💝💫

Meanwhile, my CHW Apprenticeship training is on hold until I can stabilize my condition. I hope to return soon with a renewed purpose. Perhaps working with the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community that I am now a part of🦻🏽💫

Currently, I am finishing up my @accessibleyoga teacher training this Summer with a shift in perspective on what accessibility in yoga could truly feel like… my discovery continues…

The good news is that I am cleared by my cardiologist to continuing my prayer running …which looks more like walking or a moving desert tortoise for me 🥰🐢❣️
I’m truly considering starting “Desert Tortoise Run Club” in Tucson w/ a @stillirun AZ chapter…
4those of us,
who still love
“to fly”🪶and honor/celebrate Mother Nature outdoors in movement🌍👣💫
I still hold the dream to run a Half Trail Marathon in some desert canyon…as a charity bib runner, raising monetary blessings to worthy causes in need💝❣️ such as @runforthemigrants @rising_hearts

The journey continues…✊🏽❣️ taken in Menlo Park Neighborhood Tucson by @venadoyoga

@runforthemigrants

Hello folks!

We have officially launched the 2026 Run for the Migrants fundraiser! 🦋🦋

Juanita and I have been organizing this event since 2020 and, with your help, have raised over $13,500 to support migrant shelters in Sonora. All donations go directly to purchase essential supplies for several shelters and we will personally be transporting these supplies throughout the year

As with previous years, we will be having a virtual run/walk as part of the fundraiser from June 7th to June 21st.

Those who register and provide their mailing address will be sent a race bib and event stickers.
Here’s the link to sign up and donate:

20,400 miles is the equivalent of running from New York City to Los Angeles…more than 7 times!!

That’s how far this community has collectively moved for Runstreak for Mental Health so far this month.

Last year, we hit 34,000 miles together, and we’re chasing that goal again this year. We have 10 days left in the month to log about 14,000 more miles. Can we do it?!

If you haven’t already logged your miles in Race Roster, be sure to log them so your miles count towards our collective total! Log into your Race Roster account, then choose “View Registration” and then “Add Activity.”

Repost♾️💓👟🪶💫

We’re entering year 10 at Still I Run.

That feels big. And it felt important to pause and ask ourselves: Does our language truly reflect who we are today?

Over the past year, we’ve intentionally refreshed our mission, vision, and values to better reflect the movement we’re building together.

Our mission: to make every step a stride toward improved mental health and well-being.
Our vision: a world where everyone embraces the healing power of movement.
Our values: making space, stepping into strength, and keeping showing up.

This isn’t about changing who we are. It’s about clarifying it.

If you’ve ever run, walked, fundraised, donated, or simply followed along, this is part of your story too.

Read the full update and see what this next chapter means for our community. 💚 taken in Tucson, Arizona by @venadoyoga
