The last full moon of winter is a time of initiations. Required for the beauty and growth of Spring, we must rest and shed in the winter.

Journal reflection questions:

(1) How have you been integrating rest in your life? Is there a gratitude around rest you'd like to express?
(2) What have you been nurturing lately? Is there a gratitude around this you'd like to name? (3) in this time of initiations, what do you need to shed in order to grow into the person you are becoming?

“I wanted to become a yoga teacher so I could help bring yoga to POC and low-income communities where preventative health is not structurally supported, and where spaces for community healing are few."My love of movement has been evident since being a toddler disappearing from the crowd at the Jazz Festival in Little Rock, Arkansas (my hometown) to wiggle at the edge of the stage closer to the music. I am fascinated by the ways that movement and breath in yoga has healed injuries and mental blocks in my own body. I wanted to become a yoga teacher so I could help bring yoga to POC and low-income communities where preventative health is not structurally supported, and where spaces for community healing are few. After taking this teacher training here at The Bhakti Yoga Movement Center (formerly The Bhaktishop), I know yoga is so much more than asana and I hope to continue to explore yogic ethics in my own practice. I worked as the Outdoor Education coordinator at KairosPDX, an elementary school in North Portland that aims to close the achievement and opportunity gaps for Black students. I currently work at OHSU as the Middle School Program Coordinator at On Track OHSU! and I am passionate about exploring how Earth-connection and yoga practice, in community, are natural partners towards liberation. I believe this is my lifelong work, my sacred intention.
