I am committed to fostering an inclusive and equitable space for all individuals, regardless of their race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, or background. I firmly believe in the principles of anti-racism, social justice, and LGBTQIA+ inclusivity, and I strive to embody these values in every aspect of my work.
My Commitment to Anti-Racism:
I acknowledge the existence of systemic racism and the lasting impacts of discrimination on marginalized communities. I am dedicated to actively challenging and dismantling these systems of oppression. In my teachings and practices, I promote awareness, empathy, and understanding, encouraging our community to join in this critical work.
My Commitment to LGBTQIA+ Inclusivity:
I celebrate the rich tapestry of human identities and expressions, including those within the LGBTQIA+ community. My space is open and welcoming to individuals of all gender identities and sexual orientations. I stand firmly with LGBTQIA+ individuals in their pursuit of love, happiness, and authenticity.
My Promise:
1. Inclusive Language: I use inclusive language in all my communications and teachings to ensure that everyone feels respected and valued.
2. Safe and Welcoming Spaces: I strive to create and maintain safe, inclusive, and welcoming physical and virtual spaces where all participants can fully engage in the offerings.
3. Continuous Learning: I commit to ongoing education and self-reflection, seeking to better understand the experiences of marginalized communities and staying informed about issues related to anti-racism and LGBTQIA+ rights.
4. Support and Allyship: I offer our unwavering support to those who face discrimination or marginalization, and I strive to be active allies in the fight for equality.
5. Feedback and Accountability: I welcome feedback from our community and hold us accountable for any actions or behaviors that do not align with the values of anti-racism and LGBTQIA+ inclusivity.
I believe that yoga and embodiment practices have the power to unite, heal, and transform individuals and communities. It is my mission to ensure that these practices are accessible to everyone, regardless of their background or identity.
