“Yoga is an ancient Indic practice and has always been about liberation.
While yoga helps us to manage stress, along with a myriad of other things, it is vital to remember that this is not why yoga was created and practised for thousands of years.
Yoga is inherently anti colonial and anti capitalist.
The term self-care (first written about and promoted as a radical act against oppression, by Audre Lorde) has largely been appropriated, colonised and intertwined with yoga.
The true meaning of self care has always been about collective wellness and collective liberation.
It’s (beyond) time to decolonise our minds, spaces, classes and practices.
Honour the Ancient Indicroots of yoga, alongside surrounding Asian and South East Asian influential mindful practices. Ensure yoga and mindful movement are accessible and inclusive for all.”
Bee Leaf Yoga's objective is to make the practice of yoga available to anyone willing to try it. Encourage individuals to connect with themselves, build strength and evoke laughter. Discover practical tools to move and breathe more fully, within a safe, welcoming and inclusive atmosphere.
The Bee Leaf Yoga Philosophy:
Bee Leaf Yoga is passionate about the environment, human nature, progressive development, collective wellness and collective liberation.
Bee Leaf Yoga appreciates that we live in a pluralist society, recognises what constitutes well-being is different for each individual, respects that each person's journey to yoga (and mindful movement) in life, is completely unique.
Your story, your journey… What can you expect?
Fun, thoughtful, mindful classes that incorporate flow, strength, balancing, pranayama, history and philosophy alongside mindful relaxation to decompress and re-energise!”
