I’ve come to recognize my inner critic most clearly during moments when my body felt like it “should” be doing more—whether in a yoga practice, postpartum healing, or simply trying to keep up with the expectations I placed on myself. For a long time, that voice sounded like motivation, but in truth it was rooted in old conditioning around worth, productivity, and being “enough.” When I began to notice it with curiosity instead of judgment, something shifted. Acknowledging the voice—rather than fighting or silencing it—allowed me to soften. I could thank it for trying to protect me, while choosing not to let it lead.

Yoga has been a powerful bridge in that process. Through breath, intentional movement, and moments of stillness, I learned to listen inward with compassion. Yoga invites us to meet ourselves exactly where we are, without performance or comparison. In that space, self-forgiveness becomes possible, and self-acceptance begins to feel embodied rather than theoretical. As a guide, I see yoga as a practice that gently reminds students they are already whole—worthy of grace, patience, and kindness in every season of their journey.

A useful grounding tool I apply for myself and share with others🥰 Yoga Nidra’s use of opposites offers a powerful and gentle way to help the nervous system renegotiate safety after trauma. Trauma often lives in extremes—hypervigilance or shutdown, tension or numbness, fear or dissociation. When we guide someone through sensations like warmth and coolness, heaviness and lightness, or expansion and grounding, we’re inviting the body to experience contrast without threat. This creates a sense of choice and agency, which trauma can take away.

For many people, especially those who have lived in survival mode, the body has learned to stay braced or guarded. Working with opposites allows the nervous system to explore movement between states in a contained and supportive way. Rather than forcing release, the practice gently teaches that it’s safe to feel, to shift, and to return to balance. Over time, this can rebuild trust in the body’s signals and responses.

I’ve seen how guiding someone through sensations like heaviness and lightness can be especially grounding. For example, inviting a student to feel the weight of their body supported by the earth, and then contrasting that with a sense of spaciousness or ease, can help them reconnect with stability while also experiencing freedom. This back-and-forth reminds the nervous system that both states can coexist, and neither needs to be feared.

In this way, Yoga Nidra becomes a bridge between awareness and healing. It allows individuals to safely explore inner experiences without needing to analyze or relive them. Through gentle contrast, the body learns integration—teaching that balance isn’t the absence of difficulty, but the ability to move through it with presence, choice, and compassion.

Honored to graduate from the Dreamship with the Village of Wisdom—two years that have felt like a sacred rites of passage. A journey that stretched me, held me, and ultimately transformed me. A journey that called me back to my own power, inviting me to embrace my Black Genius without apology and to honor the rhythms of rest, interrogation, transformation, and expression that shape my becoming.

This photo holds the story of that becoming. It captures the tenderness and the courage, the trembling steps and the grounded ones. It reflects the tools placed in my hands, the grace poured over my spirit, and the Village love that wrapped around me as I walked—sometimes unsure, always guided—into the growth required for the next chapters of my life.

Black Genius, to me, is ancestral electricity. It is the ancient wisdom that stirs beneath our skin, rises through our breath, and frees us to stand fully in who we are. It radiates from spirit to spirit, flowing into our communities and our babies, weaving a tapestry of collective brilliance in a Village built on love.
