Awakening by Climbing Poetree

We gotta believe in a world 

where there's room enough for everyone

to breathe

'cause reality is made of 7 billion thoughts

who made up their minds

of what's real and what's not.

So I stopped believing

in false idols of war, greed and hate.

It's not worth my faith.

And my mind's dedicated

to justice

and my soul's devoted to love

and love is God

and God is truth

and truth is you

and you are me

and I am everything

and everything is nothing

and nothing is the birthplace of creation

and transformation is possible

and you are proof.

And the most powerful tool

in the hands of the oppressor

is what's inside our heads.

And the most dangerous weapon 

to combat the deception

lives inside our chest.

Hold a mirror to your heart.

What does it reflect?

What will be the message

of the legacy we've left?

We were born right now for a reason.

We can be whatever

we give ourselves the power to be

and right now we need

dream weavers,

bridge builders,

truth sayers,

light bearers,

food growers,

wound healers,

trailblazers,

life lovers,

peacemakers.

Give 

what you most deeply desire

to give.

Every moment, you are choosing to live

or you are waiting.

Why would a flower hesitate to open?

Now is the only moment.

Raindrop, let go,

become the ocean.

Possibility is as wide

as the space we create

to hold it.

I was a freshman in high school when I took my first meditation class and was blown away by the power of it. It wasn't the practice itself, rather, it was how I moved through the world and interacted with my family later that night that impacted me so greatly. I realized that meditation, yoga, and other mindful movement modalities, can create actual positive shifts and this influenced my work in the years to come as a social justice activist, massage therapist, and most recently in my work as a somatic psychotherapist. I started teaching hatha yoga professionally in 2009, which continues to feed my passion for learning, especially when it comes to the dynamism of the body and mind, relationships, and the healing arts. What gets me most excited about the practice is that it offers opportunities for deep experiential learning, often uncovering and clarifying wisdom that already exists within. As we move through the shapes of asana and cultivate our "somatic architecture" we bring mindfulness to how we physically organize, unwind, and reorganize. In this process we come to understand how our physicality gives rise to and is affected by our mental and emotional states. Habitual patterns surface and opportunities for learning and healing present themselves. The beauty of group yoga classes is that this intimate work gets to happen in the holding of a community. The practice can expand from intra-personal to inter-personal and healing around themes of belonging become possible.I enjoy teaching various styles of yoga, I am an anatomy geek and love getting into the details of alignment, I think props are the coolest... but most of all I love connecting with my students and supporting their curiosity, wisdom, and empowerment.
