Lovely piece, Caitlin 😊 I was lucky enough that my first yoga teacher wasn’t a navel gazing bliss bunny . Her whole point was to make us live life with eyes wide open, to make our practice rooted in social change. Ever since, I seek similar people out in community, in teachers, in friends- people who are committed to doing the work on both sides, and not turning away from the pain or joy of any of it.
