We believe in the transformative power of yoga, not only as a physical practice, but as one that has the power to transform us individually so we can minimize the harm we cause and contribute positively to the world around us. This is Ahimsa, non-violence.
Our One Yoga Book Club: Seeds of Justice is designed to be a safe and inclusive space for exploring themes related to racial and social justice through the lens of yoga and mindfulness practices. Our intention is to foster meaningful conversations, inspire self-reflection, and collectively move toward a more just and compassionate world that is not for justice but rooted in justice. This offering will be held monthly on the 4th Monday of every month at 7:30pm.
What to Expect:
Book Discussions: Each month, we will delve into thought-provoking literature that addresses racial and social justice issues, mindfulness, and inclusivity. Our book discussions will be a platform for sharing insights, experiences, and perspectives.
Mindful Practices: Our meetings will integrate various yoga and mindfulness practices, including meditation, asana sequences, pranayama techniques, yoga nidra, and other restorative practices. These sessions are designed to support your personal journey and provide practical tools for navigating the complexities of social justice.
Community Connection: We embrace the diversity within our community and aim to create a welcoming space where all voices are heard and valued. This book club provides an opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals and collectively contribute to positive change.
The first book will be "The Inner Work of Racial Justice" by Rhonda V. Magee. When you register for the workshop the suggested chapters will be sent. For the first meeting, the reading will not be required, but suggested.
FORMAT: This is an in-person workshop taking place in the studio at One Yoga, 2637 27th Ave S, Suite 207, Minneapolis, MN 55406. Online pre-registration is strongly encouraged. Please email any questions about your online account or the workshop to info@one-yoga.org.
