Chapter 3 - Heal Ahimsa
-
- Documentary
So many of us are trying to prioritize our health and stay alive. We are living through the unknown, unfamiliar together. Please be compassionate with yourself and others journeying with you. The culture created in yoga spaces with Black people has to be affirming and accountable to caustic microaggressions. We should not have to bottle and absorb someone else’s carelessness for our lives and those lost while creating the space for restoration for everyone else. The burden is too heavy and not shared. Hear yoga teachers Ericka Jones, Lisa Sorenson, and Tish Torres alongside the voice of Dr. Rashawn Ray speaking at the Alliance for Health Policy’s Summit on Disruptors and Transformers
Ahimsa is a limited series audiomemoir on yoga, wellness, and Black Lives in 2020 written and narrated by Dr. Yasmene Mumby. Sound and music by Justin Mayfield. Dave Nelson, Andrew Horan, and Alice Thompson edited the script. “Hold On” performed by the Kuumba Singers at Harvard College with Bobby McFerrin. Funding for this artistry was made possible by YogaGlo. Go to www.yasmenemumby.com for the latest updates and to support more of this work.
