Hi Every One
At the end of January2025, I will be leaving Threads & Facebook (both personal and professional pages). I will be deciding about leaving Instagram later in the year.
Truly, my best online content happens at the live yoga classes I teach through Zoom. I offer 4 weekly classes (Eastern: Sun 11am, Mon 9a, Wed 6:15p, Thu 7:30p). Each class for you to access whenever you want.
Going forward, here’s how you can follow me.
- My website - www.williamhufschmidt.com Please join my email newsletter, and consider joining my online yoga classes & videos (all classes recorded since 2020).
- BlueSky - https://bsky.app/profile/williamhufschmidt.bsky.social
- LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/william-hufschmidt-30071b187/
- Instagram (at least a few more months) - https://www.instagram.com/williamhufschmidt/
- In 2025, I will be developing my google business page and YouTube channels.
- I’m also hoping to join Flashes, an IG alternative developed by BlueSky

I am leaving Threads & Facebook because earlier this month, Mark Zuckerberg & Meta announced policy changes which allow hate speech, specifically allowing hate speech towards the LGBTQIA+ communities. For the time being, I will continue my personal and professional accounts on Instagram, however, if the environment becomes toxic and harassing, I will leave IG, as well.

Read my latest blog about Yoga Practice and teachings of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

https://www.williamhufschmidt.com/blog/listening-and-responding-to-mlkjrs-legacy

During the 2020 riots in Atlanta following the murder of Mr. George Floyd, a friend said to me that all white people in America need to ask ourselves, “What are black people saying to us that we are not hearing, that we don’t, can’t, and won’t hear?” I think about this question often now.

Please read Article 1. From the link: “Let us instead remember when King refused to denounce protesters by saying “a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it America has failed to hear? It has failed to hear that the promises of freedom and justice have not been met. And it has failed to hear that large segments of white society are more concerned about tranquility and the status quo than about justice and humanity.”

The link quotes Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King Jr.: “Whites, it must frankly be said, are not putting in a similar mass effort to reeducate themselves out of their racial ignorance. It is an aspect of their sense of superiority that the white people of America believe they have so little to learn.”

The heart of the yoga practice is learning, unlearning, and relearning; over and over again rediscovering how to pay attention, to see clearly again in every situation. Why do we do this? To become better at listening before responding when we are attempting to do right action in our practice and in the world.

Much of my daily practices (with and beyond asana) now includes learning, unlearning the untruths I learned, then relearning by listening, "unlistening" to those untruths I heard, and then again relistening. This process of calibration and refinement leads our doing to undoing, then redoing. Richard Rohr (citation below) and other teachers of all tradition define this as THE spiritual path.

Honoring the legacy of the Martin Luther King King Jr. requires that we, white people especially, listen, learn, feel, understand, and respond. The message has not changed - the voices expressing the message have changed, and yet the message has not changed. How can you become a better listener? This IS our practice.

In 2022, his son, Martin Luther King III said that “We are not here to celebrate” and “we are tired of being patient” regarding Voting Rights in America (Article 2). While voting legislation just tips the iceberg of what requires our listening and responding, the voting issue DEMANDS ATTENTION and ACTION NOW as we move into future election cycles.

Kena Upanishad

Kena Upanishad I.1
THE STUDENT ASKS:
“Who makes my mind think?
Who fills my body with vitality?
Who causes my tongue to speak?
Who is that invisible one who see through
my eyes and hears through my ears?”

Kena Upanishad I.2
THE TEACHER REPLIES:
The Self/Brahman is the ear of the ear,
The eye of the eye, the mind of the mind, The word of words, and the life of life.
Rising above the senses and the mind
and renouncing separate existence,
the wise realize the deathless Self.

Kena Upanishad I.3-4
The Self our eyes cannot see,
nor words express;
The Self cannot be grasped,
even by the mind.
We do not know, we cannot understand,
because the Self is different from the
known and different from the unknown.
Thus we have heard
from the illumined ones.

Kena Upanishad I.5-6
That which makes the tongue speak
but cannot be spoken by the tongue,
know that as the Self.
This Self is not someone other than you.

That which makes the mind think
but cannot be thought by the mind,
that is the Self, indeed.
This Self is not someone other than you.

Kena Upanishad I.7-8
That which makes the eye see
but cannot be seen by the eye,
that is the Self, indeed.
This Self is not someone other than you.

That which makes the ear hear but
cannot be heard by the ear,
that is the Self, indeed.
This Self is not someone other than you.

Kena Upanishad I.9
That which makes you draw breath
but cannot be drawn by your breath,
that is the Self, indeed.
This Self is not someone other than you.

Brihadaranyaka Upanishad IV.4.5

As a person acts, so they become in life.
Those who do good become good;�
those who do harm become bad.
Good deeds make one pure;�
bad deeds make one impure.

You are what your deep, driving desire is.
As your desire is, so is your will.
As your will is, so is your deed.
As your deed is, so is your destiny.

(Original text was composed in Sanskrit,
900BCE-600BCE.)

Hi Friend!

Tonight, Wed, 8Jan, I’m back to teaching my weekly online classes. Please join us, if you can. My “plan” for January 2025 includes sharing some verses from the Upanishads and to offer movement and breathing practices to help us stay connected to our bodies, our hearts, our values, and our dreams.

At the beginning of my first classes 8, 9, 12, 13January, I will be sharing with those attending some information about what the year ahead looks like for me. The healing journey for my body and chronic pain are about to take a big leap of faith. I’d love to see you ‘in-person’ on the zoom, if you can make it, as I start sharing this information. Sign up here.

This is definitely a year of change, uncertainty, healing, and gathering together of our communities. Over the next 3 weeks, I will share more by email what’s going on for me personally and professionally in 2025.

Questions I have for you - reply to this email, please!
Have you heard of mouth taping? I have been mouth taping nightly to sleep for over a year now, and for me it has been a life-changing practice. I’m looking to talk with and support people that want to learn more about this practice. (NOTE: I’m not offering medical advice or information, I’m sharing from my personal experience.)

What do YOU want to learn and practice in 2025? Please share with me what you’re looking for and wanting to learn in your practices of asana, movement, breath work, and meditation. Really - how can I support you and learn with you this next year?

How can we as an online practice community support each other this next year? What kinds of interactions and gatherings would support you?

Now we are in winter and in 2025. This is my practice: Remember this: EACH BREATH has 4 parts.
Pause to settle.Inhale. Pause to receive. Exhale.

If the parts of the breath were seasons, Winter feels like the beginning, the settling pause (1) before we inhale (2) in Spring, filling for the Summer receiving (3), only to allow it (4) exhale again in Autumn, unwinding, letting go, again.

Remind yourself often these next weeks that it is ok to Pause & Settle, Reflect, Feel, and not be producing in every (any?) moment.

Thank you for supporting me as a teacher and a body worker these past 24 years. 2025 begins my 25th year teaching yoga and offering bodywork. I look forward to continuing to learn and study with you.

With great respect and love,
—William
