  • 🌅 Even when things aren’t golden...there’s always golden hour. . . . I got a chance to get to the beach with @ohrayoga. We tried to swim - but there was a #sharksighting. SERIOUSLY, 2020? 😳 I played in the surf anyway, leaned into the waves and literally shouted, “I’m alive!” Because at this point #NYC - we are all survivors. Life is short and we don’t have time to forget just how much we need each other. 🌊 Get outside, everybody. Wear a mask. Make your #pod and hug those people, because we will never pass this way again. #beherenow

  • #challengeaccepted Thank you to my powerful and inspiring female friends and colleagues for including me. In this lifetime, we have already overcome -what they said about women - what they taught about women, and - what they tried to sell women if we believed we were not enough. Now is time to realize that we have always been enough. In truth, we are abundant. We can use our power to serve and honor - which is why my pic above is of the amazing #BreonnaTaylor. Why did she have to die? Why has there been no true justice here? How can we stand it? #sayhername #womenempoweringwomen #nojusticenopeace

  • Sometime at the beginning of April, I came back to Queens. I had lived in Astoria for most my adult life, but had moved to Manhattan when I found a relatively affordable apartment above a hardware store near the park. As the numbers of cases rose like a seeping flood around us, I hustled to create a yoga space online, walked the dog, thanked God for the emergency pay from my employer, and developed a serious Cuomo-watching habit. All day – but mostly at night – loud ambulances screamed past on the way to Lenox Hill hospital. For one week in April, I came back to Queens to be with my person – my partner – who is Haitian-American and lives within several blocks of his 93-year-old mom to help with her care. His area is full of pleasant little houses on tree-lined streets, with large apartment buildings lining the larger avenues. So – not much different from most of New York. Except that this year, as the numbers began to crescendo, his neighborhood was covered with ambulances. Every time we emerged to walk the dog, another ambulance was parked in front of another apartment building. 3 times a day, every day for a week. Everytime. Now when he walked to the garage to get the car, he walked past a refrigerated trailer outside the local morgue. *** It was decided that I would be safer above the hardware store in Manhattan. I went back to stew in the stark and clear knowledge that I was tired of living in an unjust world. I had time to consider the blatant evidence of my privilege (See above: Emergency pay, time to practice yoga, the park, access to a car, Manhattan, health) and the subtle (access, education, opportunities). I also studied breath techniques and spoke with those battling the virus – from nurses to yoga teachers and students who had contracted it. 🌬What emerged from this hive mind is the Breath Coaching Course by @premayogainstitute August 5-26 to support COVID-19 prevention and recovery. We’ll meet online of course – with an infectious disease doctor from a hospital in West Harlem, an ICU nurse and yoga teacher, and a psychologist – basically, with the heroes of this story. *Continued in comments
