In my language: Sedap gilerrr wey!

Now for my love note. Thank you so much and team for putting together such an intentional dinner from the mocktails to the family style meal and the dessert.

Eventhough Nicaragua and Malaysia as well as Singapore are miles apart, every bite was a reminder of how more similar we are than we are apart.

Not in a way that says “we are all one,” which often erases history, but in a way that recognizes how colonization, migration, and survival have shaped our food cultures in parallel ways.

Thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏

Made collage art with my friend today while navigating health things. When they asked what will I name it. I said “I don’t know but it’s about what it takes to uphold The American Dream”

Then shortly after I said “illusions”.

Go ahead, zoom in.

I speak another language called food haha. Does anyone else grew up in a culture that feeds you before you even sit down, talks about lunch while eating breakfast and! sends you home with to-go boxes? Seriously, I wanna know!! Cus I think there’s many of us out there.

It’s not lost on me.

Yoga’s roots stretch across the South Asian subcontinent with threads reaching back toward the Indus Valley region and yet this practice became popular in the U.S. during a time when citizenship was legally restricted to “free white persons,” effectively excluding immigrants from most of Asia.

In 1923, the Supreme Court ruled that Indians were not “white” and therefore ineligible for naturalization part of a broader system of anti-Asian exclusion already in place.

At the same time, yoga was being marketed as ancient, universal wisdom.

The practice was embraced.
The people were not.

And right now, as ICE continues to detain and destabilize immigrant communities, it’s hard not to see the pattern. This country has long decided which bodies are welcome and which are removable.

It’s also not lost on me what names that yoga has been nationalized into a singular story, often upper-caste, often Hindu nationalist, while caste realities especially Dalit lives are erased in the name of “heritage” or “universality.”

This is why myself, and are doing this mentorship together. Because this isn’t new and it’s not neutral.

It’s because it always moved through immigration law, racial hierarchy, caste, nationalism. To ignore this is actually avidyā, which is the root of suffering.

So how do we as practitioners and teachers tend to this? Patanjali says Viveka, discernment. How do we get discernment? Sutra 2.29 says by practicing the 8 limbs of yoga.

But here’s the thing, this cycle will always and continue to perpetuate. Because like a pottery wheel, even after you take the clay off - the wheel will still be spinning.

So when the Gita says don’t be attached to your action. This is why. But we need to keep molding the world we want to see, even if we are not here to see it because that wheel will keep spinning.

Anyways, join us starting next week Thursday Feb 12th for 6 weeks. All sessions are recorded. Payment plans and scholarships are available.

A little honesty from my face to your feed.

thank you for the nudge :)

I understand the confusion though.

Yoga has been marketed to us as calm. Soft lighting. Deep breaths. Stress relief. A place to escape what feels overwhelming. Of course we associate it with being zen. That’s the version most of us were sold.

But yoga was never meant to be a performance of composure. When everything feels like it’s burning, staying calm is not automatically wisdom. Sometimes clarity looks like movement. Sometimes practice looks like action.

Liam Ramos.

I read on your GoFundMe page that you’re able to call your mom and your brother more now. I’m glad you at least have that. I’m glad there is still some thread connecting you to home.

I’m so sorry you’re going through what you’re going through. I cannot imagine what it feels like to be taken from your life like this. To have everything interrupted. To have your name debated in public while your family waits for a phone call.

I’ve been thinking about how moments like this expose the myth of neutrality. And how we are facing many moments of rupture, revealing what institutions are protecting and who decides falls into the cracks they’ve created.

I’m sitting with the question of how will we build spaces digital or in-person as we respond to these many moments. How are we going to tend to this fracture. What do we need. What materials. What skills.

And who can we turn to when our hearts break. Because they will.

May this rupture break your hearts and may you find the many ways to mend a broken heart. With love, with action and with the tenacity to return again and again despite our hearts being broken over and over again.

“Many of us go through waves of wakefulness and being asleep. This is human nature and a natural cycle. It is why our practice of yoga is so important – it continually reminds us of the importance of being awake to what is happening to the suffering within ourselves at this time, to the suffering we perpetuate, and to the suffering planet. Dominant culture conditions us not to see the causes of suffering and how we are implicated in perpetuating our own and others suffering. Suffering is part of the human experience. If we stay asleep, we suffer; if we awaken, we will suffer because of the truths that will be revealed to us when we do. There is no way to be awake politically, culturally, and environmentally without experiencing some level of suffering.”

If you’re a teacher and/or practitioner and you’ve been feeling like you want to speak to suffering of the world but you’re scared or perhaps you find yourself speaking around it, this is often the result of systems that were built to reward silence.

So, if you are moving through your own version of this, I am sorry that you have felt alone in carrying this weight. I hope that this mentorship or something like this offers you company in your journey towards freedom for all.

We meet on Thursdays from February 12th to March 19th. I hope to see you there.
