About this Event
Yoga for Activists
Join us on the third Sunday of each month for a yoga practice for organisers, agitators, healers, careworkers, and anyone doing the exhausting work of trying to change things. Here's a chance to actually rest inside your body, not just push through it.
This isn't yoga as a break from the movement; it's yoga as part of it, rooted in yoga philosophy's original threads of discipline, non-harm and liberation. With space for quiet reflection or exchange afterward.
All levels welcome. No prior practice, flexibility, or "yoga body" required.
After practice, you’re invited to grab tea/coffee/cake + hang out, talk, connect, build friendships and more. The inspiration to connect beyond the mat comes from the beautiful Yoga Community Project created by Matti in London. If you’re also longing for community here, come be part of this.
This practice is donation based, on a sliding scale from €5-€10. Due to systems of oppression, we find ourselves financially in different places in our lives. When making a donation, we encourage you to reflect on the privileges or lack of privileges you have and consider the opportunities or lack of opportunities that society, systems, policies, and structures have afforded you based on your caste, race, gender identity, class, sexual orientation, and body ability.
