April 4th, 2023
Hello! I hope that you’re okay, or even doing well. If you’ve experienced loss, fear or other hardships, I wish you comfort and healing, and send you love.
Beginning on April 8th I will be going to the UK for a few months, where I’ll continue to work and teach my usual yoga sessions and classes online. Times for the sessions and classes will remain the same for people in the US and El Salvador. But I won’t be teaching any evening classes during this time, since they would take place in the middle of the night for me.
There will be no free Yoga Suave class on Saturday April 8th, as I will be flying over the Atlantic at the time… However I plan to start teaching this class again the following week, on April 15th. While I’m in the UK it’s possible that I might also offer a free Yin Yoga class online, Tuesdays at either noon or 1 pm Central Standard Time. If this interests you, please let me know!
¡Hola! Espero que estés bien, o incluso que te vaya bien. Si has experimentado pérdidas, miedo u otras dificultades, te deseo consuelo y sanación, y te mando amor.
A partir del 8 de abril, me iré al Reino Unido por unos meses, donde continuaré trabajando y enseñando mis sesiones y clases habituales de yoga en línea. Los horarios de las sesiones y clases seguirán siendo los mismos para las personas en los EE. UU. y El Salvador. Pero no daré clases nocturnas durante este tiempo, ya que para mí tendrían lugar en medio de la noche.
No habrá clase gratuita de Yoga Suave el sábado 8 de abril, ya que estaré sobrevolando el Atlántico en ese momento… Sin embargo, planeo comenzar a impartir esta clase nuevamente la semana siguiente, el 15 de abril. Mientras estoy en el Reino Unido, es posible que también ofrezca una clase gratuita de Yin Yoga en línea, los martes al mediodía o a la 1 p. m., hora estándar central. Si esto te interesa, por favor hágamelo saber!

Free drop-in yoga classes, online, in English and Spanish
Clases de yoga en línea, sin necesidad de inscribirse, en inglés y español
For almost three years during the pandemic I taught three free online yoga classes each week, in English and in Spanish. Love and good wishes to those who shared those classes with me!
I’ll be spending a few months in England this spring of 2023, so I’m letting go of the classes that happened in the evenings in the US–since they would be in the middle of the night, where I’m going…
I will continue to teach one free yoga class online each week, on Saturday mornings, now at 9 am Central Standard Time, or 8 am in El Salvador. There will be no class on Saturday April 8th… as I’ll be in a plane, flying to England.
Por casi tres años durante la pandemia, enseñé tres clases gratuitas de yoga en línea cada semana, en inglés y en español. ¡Amor y buenos deseos para quienes compartieron esas clases conmigo!
Pasaré unos meses en Inglaterra esta primavera de 2023, así que dejaré de lado las clases que se daban por la noche en los EE. UU., ya que serían en medio de la noche, a donde voy …
Continuaré impartiendo una clase de yoga gratuita en línea cada semana, los sábados por la mañana, ahora a las 9 a. m., hora estándar del centro, o a las 8 a. m. en El Salvador. No habrá clase sábado el 8 de abril, como estaré en un avión, en rumbo para inglaterra.

If you have come here to help me you are wasting your time. But if you have come because your liberation is bound up with mine, then let us work together. –Lilla Watson, Aboriginal elder, activist and educator from Queensland, Australia.

I appreciate and feel so much gratitude for the long history of yoga in India: for the practitioners who carried it forward and developed it, and for the many diverse paths that they travelled with yoga over time, first in India and then out into other areas of the world. I love yoga practices for how they can support physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing, and for how they can strengthen a sense of self-determination, freedom, connection, and solidarity with the world around us.
So I want yoga to be accessible to anyone who wants to try it. For people of different backgrounds and histories and bodies of all kinds. Inexpensively or for free, whenever possible.

All of the yoga classes I teach are informed by my training and certification in Trauma Center Trauma-Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY), emphasizing skills that can minimize the long-term neurological and whole-body impact of overwhelming experiences, helping to strengthen resilience, immunity, and general well-being.

The world is full of beauty, magic, miracles, and patterns that induce wonder… Emergence is one of the best concepts I have learned for discussing this wonder. Emergence emphasizes critical connections over critical mass, building authentic relationships, listening with all the senses of the body and the mind.
The crisis is everywhere, massive massive massive. And we are small.
But emergence notices the way small actions and connections create complex systems, patterns that become ecosystems and societies. Emergence is our inheritance as a part of this universe; it is how we change. Emergent strategy is how we intentionally change in ways that grow our capacity to embody the just and liberated worlds we long for.
