-With Soraya Latiff - Educator, Youth Activist and Yoga Instructor
September 21st
6:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Virtual yoga session and conversation about roots of justice & equity in relation to yoga.
Soraya completed her beloved RYT 200 (yoga teacher certification) with Bodhi Movement studying Ashtanga and learning to teach Vinyasa in 2020. Soraya believes that if we are to put the 8 limbs of yoga into action and do the work to see that all beings are interconnected, then we must engage in anti-racism work and that anti-racism work is the work of love. She navigates the ways she herself has learned power yoga in the West and works to make her classes a balance of valuing exercise but challenging the Western appropriation of yoga and centering our breath, yoga’s roots, and dismantling white supremacy.
Her vinyasa and asana practice engages students to reflect on their own commitments to waking up in a more just world and encourages us each to dream and act deliberately towards love, justice, and liberation.
She has worked with groups of youth organizers, educators, parents and centers healing justice in each class.
Check out her TEDtalk here!
Facilitated by: Alyssa Marks, Metropolitan State University of Denver Puksta Coordinator
Scholars and Guests participating should have a yoga mat, towel, or something to support their knees on the ground for the yoga flow. A notebook and something to write with are optional and water is good as well. Soraya will be sharing a playlist, so have your phones nearby to play the playlist if you would like.
