\u00a0\"Together<\/div>\n

\u00a0Because\u00a0ONE doesn’t mean\u00a0the same.\u00a0<\/b>Uniformity is not COMMUNITY.\u00a0<\/b>And LOVE does not come\u00a0with rules\u00a0and\u00a0borders. <\/p><\/b><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Oh, the irony!\u00a0<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Last Monday, I wrote about the dangers of\u00a0tribalism. And now, this week the moon has been full and I’m back with an\u00a0opposite<\/i>\u00a0message – of\u00a0the powerful difference\u00a0a tribe can make when we unite,\u00a0<\/i>for good.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
You see, it all started last week when\u00a0I woke up to yet more distressing images of frightened children,\u00a0being\u00a0torn from their parents\u00a0at our border. Thousands of them. My heart hurt.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
But\u00a0by\u00a0the next morning, my despair was replaced with an idea. What if I put together …\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span>A donation-based, downloadable\u00a0Led Primary<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>featuring teachers from around the world –<\/a>with 100% of the\u00a0proceeds\u00a0going towards\u00a0helping those kids.<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Well, within 24 hours of putting out an all-call\u00a0to the community, I had more teachers volunteering to participate than\u00a0there are poses in\u00a0primary series! And by Saturday, I had\u00a0the voices of 39 different teachers, from around the\u00a0world, each leading their own small part.\u00a0Only when put\u00a0together, the result is\u00a0anything but small!\u00a0<\/b>In fact, this class is a beautiful example of a tribe\u00a0coming together in a powerful way \u2013 uniting our voices and practice \u2013 to create the good that we crave.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Of course, I knew\u00a0there would be variances. And not just in voice, but in style and pace.\u00a0I even knew\u00a0that,\u00a0based on when they learned the series and from who they learned it from\u00a0– there\u00a0would be other noticeable differences.\u00a0To which, I thought –\u00a0Good!<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n
Because\u00a0ONE doesn’t mean\u00a0the same.<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
Uniformity is not COMMUNITY.<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
And LOVE does not come\u00a0with rules\u00a0and\u00a0borders.<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Quite frankly, you and I don’t practice yoga to\u00a0build walls. Just the opposite.\u00a0And yet, division –\u00a0even within our own yoga community –\u00a0runs deep. But not\u00a0this\u00a0time. Not in this class. And not for this cause.\u00a0Because the bigger\u00a0irony turns out to be this:\u00a0In\u00a0reaching out to help heal others, it\u00a0becomes\u00a0US\u00a0we end\u00a0up helping to heal.<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
And so I hope you will join the\u00a039 teachers\u00a0and me – along with students around the world – as we\u00a0rise together, in practice. In healing. And in love.<\/span><\/div>\n
