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. โ Here are some examples: โ ๐ ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ถ๐บ๐๐ฎ [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 protestโฆ โ ๐ ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฎ [truthfulness] โ 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. โ ๐ ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ต๐๐ฎ๐๐ฎ [self-study] โ 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 youโve never practiced journaling before, this is the perfect chance to start. โ ๐ ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐๐๐๐ฒ๐๐ฎ [non-stealing] - learn to unlearn the destructive white behaviors that weโre born into. The benefits we get due to our white privilege come at the cost of someone else. โ ๐ ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐ง๐ฎ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ [self-discipline] โ 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. โ We often hear people telling powerful stories like "Yoga has made me physically stronger" or "Yoga has made me love myself." โ 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)
