In response to recent events, many yoga organizations and yoga teachers have publicly stated a commitment to supporting the dismantling of systemic racism and to standing in solidarity with BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color). For many, this commitment includes a critical examination and transformation of the lack of diversity in the yoga classes they host and teach.
In this Satsang, Rev. Kamala Itzel Hayward will share her thoughts on how you can begin to create inclusive yoga spaces. The gathering will include time for q&a and will conclude with a brief meditation.
About Rev. Kamala Itzel Hayward
Kamala remembers very early in life feeling sad and confused by how some people could perpetuate suffering upon other people for what seemed to her to be inexplicable and arbitrary reasons. She dreamed of a world that was just and kind. It was this dream that inspired her, at five years old, to become a lawyer.
And she did.
For 13 years, she practiced law full time, passionate about protecting the public—particularly those people whose voices weren’t heard, whose lives weren’t valued, whose power was subjugated, who weren’t given equal access to resources.
She found the work meaningful and rewarding in many ways… but a string of personal challenges and significant losses drew her to follow a different path.
She went on an intensive spiritual quest to try to understand her own suffering, what motivates others to cause suffering, and how to end suffering for herself and others.
She finally came to realize that all suffering is rooted in a mistaken belief of separateness—the idea that you are separate from anyone or anything else—and that the most direct way to end suffering is to heal that sense of separation.
Today, she holds meetings, retreats, classes, trainings, and private one-on-one sessions online, over the phone, and in person with people from all over the world.
From working with professionals dealing with challenges in the workplace, to couples in struggling relationships, to individuals looking outside of themselves for love or happiness, Itzel works with groups and individuals gently reminding you of your individual wholeness and your interconnectedness with each other and all of life.
