I will no longer be teaching yoga at
Ed Sheeran’s concerts.
In solidarity with Macklemore, FINNEAS, Lukas Graham, Aaron Rowe and Beoga.
Which totally isn’t real, but the solidarity I have for this is completely real.
Speaking up for Palestinian freedom shouldn’t cost anyone their job, income, stage, etc, especially in a country where FREEDOM is a central tenant of the philosophy that founded it.
Nor should anything cost Palestinians the right to live their lives, let alone their right to yoga, music, and expression to say the least.
But here we are.
And yes, it’s “performative” to post something with all the stuff going on with Macklemore (who just donated his entire $1 mil proceeds from this tour to aid organizations in Palestine btw) the whole point of using this platform the way I do is to perform for what I believe in. It’s is kinda of the whole point.
And if you don’t use your platform that way, then guess what? That’s okay. You don’t have to. But I can. And I will.
It’s yogic to stand up for free speech, against censorship and against genocide. Emboding and practicing your ethics, speaking up, and caring about s**t IS yogic, it IS Christ-like, and it IS worth it.
There are infinite paths to personal liberation, and if every ounce of good you do to set yourself free is for the benefit of all beings — including those in Palestine — and sometimes, that’s by way of the healing making us bolder and more willing to stand on good business — like admitting genocide is wrong.
So, with that being said,
I never liked a bully.
Free Palestine 🇵🇸
And Congo 🇨🇬
And Sudan 🇸🇩
“for the benefit of all beings”
