Connecting to Our Breath Yoga Flow
-With Soraya Latiff - Educator, Youth Activist & Yoga Instructor
February 24th
6:00 pm - 7:00 pm MDT
*We are so excited to welcome Soraya back to our Puksta Community! These two February sessions are meant to be a little treat for all of us to embrace some time for self-care. OPEN to all ALUMNI, SCHOLARS, PUKSTA FRIENDS & FAMILY. All are welcome!!
Some of you may remember the session she did with us over our Puksta Hybrid FALL Retreat on Yoga Movement incorporating Roots of Justice and Equity. If not, then I am glad you will be able to join us for this and maybe the next session. Remember...
If you are not filling your tank up, then how are you supposed to give to others when you are running on empty.
Connecting our breath to our movements and breathing practices. This flow will begin with a brief introduction by Soraya to the practice and we will practice different breathwork, or pranayama, practices and move through a flow that supports connecting our breath to our movements.
Soraya (she/her) is a yoga asana and meditation teacher from Trinidad and Tobago and based in Denver, CO on Arapaho land and currently teaches yoga at Urban Sanctuary in Five Points, Denver. She leads a youth-civic engagement and organizing non-profit, Public Achievement, and co-teaches two university courses on social justice and education as a tool for social change at CU Boulder. She is the founder and owner of Empathy Grown and recently graduated from an MPA with a focus on Environmental Policy and Law at CU Denver. 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 radical love. She navigates the ways she herself has learned aerobic and power yoga in the West and works to make her classes a balance of valuing exercise in the physical body but challenging the Western appropriation of yoga and centering our breath, decolonizing 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 radical love and liberation.
She has worked with groups of youth organizers, educators, parents and centers healing justice in each class.
Check out her TEDtalk here!
Those who are 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.
