If you haven't re-learned American history yet from all the Juneteenth love out there, first search #juneteenth on Instagram, get schooled, and then come back and read.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is a post about ACTION for white folks. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Consider:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"Two hundred fifty years of slavery. Ninety years of Jim Crow. Sixty years of separate but equal. Thirty-five years of racist housing policy. Until we reckon with our compounding moral debts, America will never be whole." ~ @tanehisipcoates
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
INDEED. If we want beauty, artistry, and freedom to grow in all spaces - if you believe that none of us can be free until all of us are free - The coolest way to honor this day is to choose to be like nature - abundant and generous with your time and money. If you have the resources, as @SonyaReneeTaylor says, "Cut checks, give to the movement, and then get out of the way."
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Pretty simple. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So here's where you can direct your resources:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
▫️ Donate to organizations working toward Black liberation
▫️ Support Black activists and anti-racism educators
▫️ Shop Black owned businesses, bookstores, etc.
▫️ Pay Black wellness professionals
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Whip out the credit card, pull up the Venmo names, and open up the flood gates!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And if you can't spare cash (and even if you can):
▫️ Register to vote in time for the primaries and drag everyone you know with you to the polls
▫️ Do the work of being antiracist
▫️ Tag the names of Black organizations and individuals that should be supported in the comments!

While I realize that statements and letters at thi

While I realize that statements and letters at this time might seem performative - it feels more important to acknowledge and speak to this moment we are in than to be quiet.

One of the three values we hold as a school is Integrity in Community.

It’s one of our values because we understand that we’re each other's keeper, and we understand the power of collective support and accountability.

It’s one of our values because we understand the truth that none of us can be free until we are all free.

In light of the brutal killing of US Citizens: George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmad Aubrey and the velocity of the Black Lives Matter movement in this moment, we are asking ourselves: ▫️Where have we been neglecting our values by not doing enough to fight daily for Black Liberation? ▫️What will we commit to do proactively every day to dismantle systemic racism in our communities, yoga spaces, and personal networks? ▫️How will we honor our responsibility to the collective and not leave this fight up to communities of color alone, when this is arguably a white, not black problem? ▫️How will we fully live up to our values in this moment?

As ever, yoga for our school has always been about direct engagement and ACTION in the world, rather than checking out from what the world is offering. We are not here to meditate our way to light and love, we’re here to do the work.

Anti-racism is not a one time act, it is a daily practice. 🙏🏾Our school has donated to the @mnfreedomfund and organizations across the country that are working hard to promote racial justice and rid our country of white supremacy, such as @reclaimtheblock, @mvmnt4blklives, and @blackvisionscollective.
🙏🏾We have committed to increase the use of our voice and platform to amplify Black voices, end injustice, and call in our fellow white and non-BIPOC community to make anti-racism a practice too.
🙏🏾In our practice of anti-racism, we have recommitted to continually educating ourselves and learning from our mistakes as we go.

Please join me as we fight for Black liberation and Black lives. 🖤🤎🖤 @amyippoliti, CO-founder

Congrats to these 90 Monkeys 200hr teachers for graduating this month!

It’s hard to put into words how incredible this group has been.

We spent the first three months together in person in Boulder laughing, practicing, and learning.

None of us expected that shortly after what would be our last training together in the same room in early March, we had to pivot to the Zoom room for our last two sessions.

Even with that curveball, there has been so much brilliance, grace, love, joy, humor, and passion in this sweet group from day one.

You’re all heading out into unprecedented times as a new yoga teacher, but we know you’re ready and the world needs you now more than ever.

We can wait to watch your journey unfold.

Also can’t wait till we can throw a reunion party in Boulder, anyone else!? 🎉💕

When I first started trying to teach yoga from a heart-centered place, I'd sit staring at the vastly empty page in my notebook, wondering why I was such a failure with words.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I had all the feeling and passion for yoga and all I wanted to do was help make people's lives more meaningful.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But every time I tried to teach from the heart, I sounded like a big old cheese ball.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Can anyone else relate? 🤷🏽‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And yet, teaching yoga from the heart and bringing in yoga philosophy to your classes, is CRITICAL!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And you have to find a way to do it, or yoga in 2020 is just going to get more and more physical & superficial.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And lord knows we need more folks who get that yoga isn't just for tight butts and handstand challenges. (Don't get me wrong, I love butts, and I love handstands...)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But we all know that yoga offers so much more!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ It's a lifestyle.
✨ It's about caring.
✨ It's about kindness.
✨ It's about growing as a human.
✨ It sparks people's creativity and contribution to the world.
✨ It's about being less hyper-individualistic & more interconnected.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And that's exactly why, during this crazy time we're in, "Teaching Yoga from the Heart" was the very first virtual module we launched over at @90Monkeys!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now, you probably want to know how my story ended up, right? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Well, eventually I faced the hard facts about my lack of eloquence.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Teaching yoga from the heart meant contemplating, journalling, and preparing in very specific ways that I developed and honed over time.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In this new course I share all my secret techniques to teaching with more passion, clarity, and relevance. So don't let this one slip by 👉🏽 enroll now to gain instant access via the link in my bio!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Nothing makes me happier than the thought of working with you and helping you pour your big heart out on your yoga students! 💗

Throwback to last summer with these incredible teachers learning hands on assists!

As athletic yoga classes are becoming the industry

As athletic yoga classes are becoming the industry norm, safety and individualized attention are becoming less and less emphasized in many yoga classes, online and in-person.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Through intelligent alignment principles, sound biomechanics, and a workable understanding of anatomy, we aim to make yoga accessible to all those who wish to benefit from this extraordinary practice!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We’re excited to be connecting with our Korean kula at @jaiyogameditation for a dynamic, in-depth, virtual 13.5 hour Yoga Alignment Intensive led by @amyippoliti later this month.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We will meet virtually for four 3-hour sessions that will take place over the course of two weekends as follows:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Session 1: Energy Flows in Standing Poses, Inversions, and Seated Poses
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Session 2: Alignment of the Lower body: Hips, Lower Back, Knees
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Session 3: Alignment of the Upper Body: Shoulders, Upper Back, Neck, Wrists
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Session 4: Surya Namaskar Deconstructed and Review
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Find out more with the link in our bio!

NOTE | The training will be taught in English and translated into Korean.
