Our 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training baddies are c r u s h i n g it and we could not be more proud of their Courage ❤️‍🔥

Functional anatomy, 10,000 yrs of yoga history, philosophy, teaching techniques - they’re eating all of it and even though we’re only halfway thru the semester, it’s clear this crew is filled with changemakers.

The Courageous School focuses on the yoga of collective liberation and all that means in our current culture. This isn’t yoga that stays on the mat, either - our trainees utilize their movement, meditation and breath training in the grit and fodder of contemporary life. Applied ethics, embodied mindfulness, love in action - in short, the Courage to decide how we actually want to show up in our rapidly changing world.

Some of our grads go on to teach, and some with us to learn about yoga as a way of life. Both are welcome in our unique and growing community.

Yá’át’ééh 🪶 fam. Indigenous Peoples Day is everyday, & when you practice at Courageous, you’re choosing a space guided by liberatory Indigenous & Q***r teachings.

Indigenous wisdom, including the dhārma, teaches us how to get free, share power & contribute responsibly to the liberation of all. Let’s break it down - slide by slide.

1️⃣ Acknowledging the land & its original inhabitants is important: it helps us to undermine the entitlement & objectification that empire is built on. Yet, libratory practices have the power to help us disentangle from indoctrination by pointing us back to the sentience of the land & giving us opportunities to feel experience our bodies as an extension of earth, our relationships as ecosystems. Our mutual freedom is the purpose of our practice: the land acknowledgement is just the beginning.

2️⃣ We’re living through a pivot in our collective consciousness & we have choice about the texture with which we engage. Indigenous ways of being the world over are characterized by devotion to the land & organized by values of belonging with - rather than power over - others & the earth. This remembrance can be painful - it brings up all we’ve lost. Mindfulness practices equip us with all of the tools we need to sit in discomfort - deep breath, somatic release & and a clear understanding of our interconnection.

3️⃣ We have a responsibility to the land, each other & our participation in how we tell the stories - both where we’ve been & where we’re going. Ytness replaces that responsibility with a void to be filled with merit, capital & ownership. Skillful means can reorient us back to be being of service - rather than being served.

4️⃣ We are allowed to come to the work of collective liberation with yearning. Our grief, our sorrow, our joy, our fullness have a rightful purpose & place in resistance. Mourning the sacrifices of immigration, of displacement, of erasure, loss & oppression can & must happen alongside the birthing of a once-again beautiful & balanced world.

There is a difference between being tough and being strong - we’re working on the second one together.

Come practice Courage. Classes daily - link in bio.

Okay so this isn’t the whole crew, but here’s a lil sneak peek of the 200-Hour class of 2025 - as a treat ❤️‍🔥

It is a time both tenuous and critical to believe in the ability that love has to liberate our collectives. Love as in resistance, love as in accountability, love as the willingness to be still and feel. The kind of love that breathes and moves with Courage.

This cohort has been leading with the heart to say the least, and we’re beyond excited to experience where their dedication takes us all. Stay tuned as their journey unfolds - there will be opportunities in Nov and Dec to come experience these Courageous leaders!

🪷 The work we do in the Courageous School is rooted in yoga dhārma, and so asks us to hold multiple truths at the same time. It creates friction to allow the pain the world and our communities are in to be part of our practice, and still hold steady in the understanding that change is possible. And it checks out because of what we do at Courageous is research in how the dynamic tension between honesty and hope creates new possibilities.

We offer both entry level and advanced yoga teacher training and continuing education for credentialed instructors. Learn more at the link in our bio, reach out or come by for class.

Whatever you do, let’s take a page from this crew’s book 🙏🏽 and Keep Practicing Courage.

Join us in love, solidarity and Courage as we lift up our relations who are suffering.

🔥 Yoga For Collective Liberation
Sunday, Aug 10th &
Sunday, Aug 17th
9:30-11a

Proceeds will be shared with on the ground, direct nutrition relief efforts in SWANA. Expect a newbie-friendly practice intended to gently build heat, community connection & honesty.

🖤 at the heart, the teachings of yoga are intended to help us witness and intervene in suffering, and have a way of bringing us face to face with the truths of interconnection. Practices of breath, movement and meditation are like a comb for our body mind - they help us see where we are adding suffering to pain. When we apply the compassion & strength we learn on the mat to relationships, we see how much our practices have the potential to change outcomes.

That’s why we’re invested in yoga as it was originally taught: as harm mitigation, honesty, generosity, wise use of creative power, and right relationship with impermanence. Being a practitioner of yoga in this historical moment means being firm & clear as to where we stand on abuses of power, greed & the inequitable organization of pain in our world.

The good news? Our actions make a difference. In fact, they can’t not: all the more reason to come practice Courage.
