QUOTE CORRECTION: Earlier this month we posted a quote that we incorrectly attributed to the new Pope.

We commit to fact checking quotes in the future, and searching for the truth in the weeds of social media. The quote, however, resonated with us for many reasons, AND we firmly continue to stand by the message it conveyed.

So…here it is again, and if you know who actually said this, please let us know so we can buy them a drink.

We’ve been thinking a ton about cueing and language over here at OTM lately.

What do we or others continually say that lands like nails on a chalkboard? As teachers, we need to be open to feedback in order to improve our craft and connect with our students, so let us know and don’t be shy!

A little history, before a slow clap for this quote; The origin of the word “woke” dates back to the 1920’s and is found in African American literature and music as a call for awareness of systemic and social issues affecting the black community. The term has recently been co-opted by political parties on the right side of the spectrum, and is now mostly used as an insult to those people or organizations with a commitment to social justice.

Shame. On. Them.

At OTM, we are committed to staying awake and loving, and if you want to use the W word to describe us, to that we say, THANK YOU.

Have you ever heard the term “yoga drunk” or “yoga stoned”?

It commonly refers to the feeling of total body relaxation, euphoria, or sometimes even peaceful confusion that can occur after a class. The reasons for these feelings are most likely a combination of chemicals like endorphins and GABA being released by the brain while you move, AND you having a chance to reconnect with your mind and body.

Have you ever been yoga drunk, and if so, what have you done while under the influence?
