![𝗜𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗮 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝗴𝗮 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲, 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘄. ⠀ Remember those mystical Yamas and Niyamas everyone is talking about? They might be exactly what we, non-Black yogis, need to start practicing to break the vicious cycle of racism & stand in solidarity with Black communities. ⠀ Here are some examples: ⠀ 👉 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗔𝗵𝗶𝗺𝘀𝗮 [compassion] - take action to stand up to injustice. Donate, amplify Black voices, have discussions with your friends & family about racism, support Black-owned businesses, join the protest… ⠀ 👉 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗦𝗮𝘁𝘆𝗮 [truthfulness] – open your heart to the truth. Make space for different opinions and know that your truth is not the only one. Do your research on systemic racism, listen, read. ⠀ 👉 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗦𝘃𝗮𝗱𝗵𝘆𝗮𝘆𝗮 [self-study] – take time to contemplate and reflect on your mind & what you feel when reading about such terms as white fragility or white privilege. How do you react when someone expresses points of view that are different from yours? Do you feel defensive, angry, uneasy? What do you think is the reason? Be honest with yourself. If you’ve never practiced journaling before, this is the perfect chance to start. ⠀ 👉 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗔𝘀𝘁𝗲𝘆𝗮 [non-stealing] - learn to unlearn the destructive white behaviors that we’re born into. The benefits we get due to our white privilege come at the cost of someone else. ⠀ 👉 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗧𝗮𝗽𝗮𝘀 [self-discipline] – commit to doing the work. Spoilers: It gets dirty and uncomfortable real fast. Have the courage to step into conflict with yourself and your closed ones. Conflict is where growth happens. ⠀ We often hear people telling powerful stories like "Yoga has made me physically stronger" or "Yoga has made me love myself." ⠀ Let's also use yoga to fill our hearts with love and compassion toward others. Let's use that love and compassion to grow stronger mentally so we could take a stand against social injustice and our prejudices.](https://yogakali.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
