According to Patanjali, a yoga archivist who gathered the Yoga Sutras thousands of years ago, yoga is about the mind. Returning to this ancient philosophy, the Resilience Flow series uses sacred technologies to witness, release, and detoxify our body, mind, and spirit. Decolonized yoga is a practice of being present with the cycles of life and what is. In Resilience Flow we acknowledge: there is no grief without love; there is no creativity without the fear of change; there is no life without stress and we can create balance by teaching our bodies how to arrive back to peace, rest, and calm.
