What does it mean to be in right relationship to the practices and teachings of yoga as a white-bodied yoga practitioner? What does it mean to teach and offer these practices when we ourselves have no direct ties to this ancient spiritual lineage? This is some of what Tristan and guest Emily Dalsfoist discuss in this winding conversation about privilege, yoga, solidarity, parenting, and so much more. Emily (she/her) is a mother, trauma sensitive yoga teacher, and musician based on the land of the Cowlitz & Clackamas Peoples. Emily has sought to integrate her connection to nature with her teachings and she brings the teachings of Yoga into her role as a parent.   In this conversation, Emily and Tristan discuss: How Emily came to yoga, and what compelled her to pursue teacher training Emily’s process of uncovering the richness beyond asana in a capitalist white-washed western yoga world The ways in which Emily has sought to integrate her connection to nature with her teachings How she brings the teachings of yoga into her role as a parent …and more Check out Emily’s offerings on her website and be sure to follow her on Instagram!
