After 2 months of living social media free, I have returned to announce I will be teaching yoga via ZOOM for nonprofit @gen_fed_up Monday evenings, for a restorative Yin session, 6-7pm PST, and Tuesday mornings for a Power Core class from 9-10am PST.

I’m not here to con you into $400 fru fru lemon pants or sell you on concepts of “light and love.” 🤢

I just published a piece on Jacobia Dahm’s photographs of women and children from New York City who, on the weekends, ride overnight buses to Upstate prisons in order to see their incarcerated loved ones.

Dahm says:

The first one or two times I took the trip, I did not take many pictures on the bus and I photographed the towns instead. I could quickly tell there was a sense of shame involved in having family in prison, and people where uncomfortable being photographed, which I understand. People had to get used to me first an understand what I was doing. So I did what you do when you are in that situation: I introduced myself to people, I took some pictures and brought them a print next time. Once they had seen me on the bus more than once they were starting to be intrigued. I also told them that I too was a parent and could not imagine having to bring my children on such a long and difficult journey, and that I was sorry this was the case for them. I think it was rare for many of these women to encounter any kind of compassion from others, and it might have helped them to open up to me.

3 years it took this girl to turn this piece of truck garbage into her home and it was beautiful. 😍😮 Have a good trip!
