Our practice is a chance to feel for the opportunities to reset. Stepping onto the yoga mat is a chance to start again. Learning to start over is a skill we can always hone, no matter where we are in the journey. Little by little, we refine this skill. Because who hasn’t done the thing where we bully ourselves into “getting over it”? May we learn to meet ourselves with a kindness that is firm, decisive, and yet tenderhearted. May we learn that this softness is actually our greatest strength.

Not everything is easy to love; if something is dirty, difficult, or even ruined, how do we stay in relationship with it? How do we stay patient when it’s demanding?

The name of the October livestream yoga session is inspired by a 2013 interview of Leanne Betasamosake Simpson by Naomi Klein in Yes Magazine. As Leanne says, “If you can’t swim in [the lake], canoe across it.” A yoga practice offers a chance to dedicate ourselves to rerooting into relationships of nurture and care. We start with our hamstrings and lower backs, and move out from there.

The name of this session is inspired by track 6 on Corinne Bailey Rae’s 2010 album, The Sea. The lyrics of the chorus are, “Love’s on its way / Hope it won’t be too late.” With its quiet urgency, it reads like a vow: to recommit to skillful and compassionate action in the midst of suffering, pain, ignorance, and fear. It is an incantation, an orientation, and, with consistency and patience, a premonition. A yoga practice is alignment not only of hips and knees, but also towards values. Love is on its way.
