WE STAND TOGETHER

Mountain Yoga Supports the Black Lives Matter Movement
This is not politics.  This is humanity.  This is yoga.

Information on how to educate ourselves and support efforts for racial equity is everywhere.  So much so, it can be daunting.  So, in response to requests from our members, we have gathered a select few sources below to start (or further) developing compassion and self-awareness around race. This is not politics, this is yoga.  Let's practice together.

 "WHEN WE FIGHT FOR THE UNKNOWN GEORGE FLOYDS OF THE WORLD.... WHAT WE ARE REALLY DOING IS HELPING  AMERICA LIVE UP TO IT'S CREED.  WHAT WE ARE REALLY DOING IS HELPING AMERICA BE THE GREAT BEACON OF HOPE AND JUSTICE FOR ALL THE WORLD TO MARVEL.  BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY,  BROTHERS AND SISTERS, WHAT WE ARE REALLY DOING IS HELPING AMERICA BE AMERICA FOR ALL AMERICANS."
