The only future that can exist is matriarchal - a continuation of the lineages of femmes, women and Q***r people who have been forces of liberation and fierce love despite despite despite.
As a tradition of freedom, yoga has been carried, tended, innovated and shared by femmes since its inception. Through stories, through mantras, rituals, poetry and through song - at times in regional languages, at times in the liturgical language of Sanskrit. Always in the way things are done.
History will habitually point to the men, but these are just four of the countless femmes who understood that the key difference between matriarchy and patriarchy is embodied. Matriarchy always has the collective’s wellbeing, the nature of balance and justice at its center - and this is the very essence of Courage. Something anyone can learn.
At the Courageous School of Yoga, we center a practice rooted in matriation. Our medium is connection and there is no shortage of inspiration to stay focused, stay resistant, stay Courageous. But don’t take our word for it - come find out:
