A little bit more about my philosophy...
'Emotions may be critical to showing us why transformations are so difficult, but also how they are possible'. Sarah Ahmed.
I believe when we come to and get involved in feminism we experience emotions, such as pain, anger, hope and wonder. I believe we hold these emotions in our physical and emotional bodies. Embodied feelings show us why transformations are so difficult but also how they are possible. During this yoga course we will explore the emotions we embody as a result of our feminism(s), releasing the pain and anger to approach change from a place of peace and love and build on and strengthen the hope and wonder we have in ourselves to continue to fight for change in our societies.
