Yoga teaches that we are all one, that we are not separate from each other.
We are pure, eternal consciousness (Atman/Self).
Our tendency to forget this (avidya) is at the heart of all suffering.
When we identify with ego (asmita) it causes separation and enmity.
Yoga (and other) practices teach us to come back to the Self.
The events of the weekend are what happens when we forget.
As are all forms of violence, war, genocide, oppression and material greed.
We pray that all may remember their true divine nature and bring about an end to these violent actions.
We grieve with all those effected.
We give thanks for those who act with brave hearts and compassion to show us the good that still exists.
We remember those still suffering globally as a result of this constant forgetting.
We work towards a day when we may all look at each other and remember, and see ourselves as one.
