ʻO Kauka Chelsea Jackson Roberts

ʻO Kauka Chelsea Jackson Roberts kahi kumu aʻo yoga ma muli o New York City. Ke hana nei ʻo ia i ka yoga no 18 mau makahiki a me ke aʻo ʻana no 15. He aha ka mea i huki mua iā ia i ke yoga e ʻimi nei i kahi hana e hoʻoliʻiliʻi i ke koʻikoʻi a hoʻoneʻe i kona kino ma ke ʻano i pili iā ia.

"Ma ke ʻano he wahine ʻEleʻele, hele mai wau mai kahi moʻokūʻauhau o nā kumu, nā mea hoʻōla, a me nā mea hoʻopili kaiāulu i nānā ʻole ʻia i ka wā kahiko ke pili i ka naʻau e paʻa i kā mākou moʻomeheu," wahi a Roberts.

ʻO kāna ʻōlelo e hōʻike nei i kāna ʻōlelo punahele a kahi mea kākau wahine kaulana.

ʻO Lauren Ash ka mea nāna i hoʻokumu i ka Black Girl ma Om, kahi kaiāulu ola honua no nā wahine ʻEleʻele e hoʻoneʻe i ka manaʻo ma o ka noʻonoʻo a me ka puke pai.

Kūleʻa ʻo Ash i ka mālama ʻana i ka Black Girl ma ka ʻike Om. ʻO kāna mea nui i ka piha o ka wahine ʻEleʻele: kona ʻuhane, kona manaʻo, kona kino, kāna mea nui.

I ka manawa e hana pāpālua ʻia nā wahine ʻeleʻele me nā ukana kaiāulu o ko lākou lāhui a me kā lākou kāne, ua hana ʻo Ash i wahi palekana no nā Wāhine ʻeleʻele e hoʻomoe i kēlā mau kaumaha a nānā iā lākou iho.

I kēia mau hana no ka mālama pono ʻana iā ia iho, ua hōʻoia ʻo Ash i ka mana hoʻōla o yoga i ke kaiāulu āna e lawelawe ai.

I loko o kahi ninaninau hou ʻo Vogue, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Ash, "Loaʻa iā mākou ka mana e pale, hoʻōla, a lawe i ka dis-easy mai ko mākou ola ma ke kono ʻana i nā mea hiki ke hoʻōla i loko o kā mākou psyche."

Ua hele mua ʻo Crystal McCreary i kāna hana yoga 23 mau makahiki i hala aku nei mai kahi hulahula.

Ua ʻike ʻo ia ʻaʻole ʻo yoga i hāʻawi iā ia i ka hanu hou a me ka maʻalahi i kona kino ʻoiai e hulahula ana, akā ua hoʻoliʻiliʻi hoʻi ia i kona koʻikoʻi a hoʻonui i kona hoʻomanawanui ma ke ʻano he kumu kula haʻahaʻa ma Oakland, Kaleponi.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia ua ʻae ʻo yoga iā ia e ʻike i kāna mau ʻike i ke ola a mahi i ka laulā piha o kāna kanaka ponoʻī.

"ʻO ka Yoga iaʻu e pili ana i ka hoʻi ʻana i ka piha, ke hoʻomanaʻo nei ʻo wai wau, e hōʻike nei i nā waiwai i kokoke a aloha i koʻu puʻuwai, a ke ola nei i kahi ola maoli a manuahi hoʻi," wahi a McCreary.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo McCreary ʻoiai ʻo yoga he "ʻenehana kahiko," ʻo ia kahi mea e pono ai, e paʻa mau ana ka waiwai, a ua hana ʻia no ka poʻe ʻEleʻele a me nā poʻe kala ʻē aʻe.

"He kuleana ko mākou e hoʻopiʻi a nīnau paha i nā manaʻo o nā mea hana i nā wahi yoga kahi a mākou e aloha ʻole ai, no ka mea, ʻaʻole pili nā wahi e like me kēlā mau mea i ka yoga," wahi a McCreary. "He kuleana nō hoʻi mākou e hoʻokuʻu i kēlā hakakā a loaʻa nā wahi yoga kahi i ʻike ʻia a mahalo ʻia mākou."

ʻO kēia ninaninau ʻana i nā wahi i makemake ʻole ʻia a me ka haʻalele ʻana i ka hakakā e hele mai ana me ka noho ʻana ma lalo o nā maka o haʻi e hōʻike ʻia e ka moto a McCreary, kahi ʻōlelo i ʻaiʻē ʻia mai ka mea akeakamai a me ka mea kākau Farani ʻo Albert Camus.

"ʻO ke ala wale nō e hana ai me ka honua ʻole e lilo i kūʻokoʻa loa i kou ola ʻana he hana kipi."

ʻO Stanley, ʻo ia ka mea kākau o "Kēlā Kino Yoga: E haʻalele i ka makaʻu, e kau i ka moena, e aloha i kou kino," hoʻolaha ʻo "ka ʻoliʻoli ʻo ia ke kūʻē."

Ua hana ʻo ia i The Underbelly, kahi polokalamu no ka poʻe hoʻomaka yoga a me nā mea aloha like. Ma ka polokalamu, alakaʻi ʻo Stanley i nā hana e kōkua i nā mea hoʻohana e aʻo pehea e hoʻohana ai i kā lākou hana kilokilo ponoʻī a loaʻa ka ʻae iā lākou iho, e like me kā Stanley i hana ai nona iho.

He leo hou ʻo Danni Thompson i ka yoga a me ka wahi noʻonoʻo e hana ana e kōkua i ka poʻe e hoʻopili i ko lākou olakino a waiwai i ka manawa hoʻokahi.

Ma ke ʻano he hoʻokumu o herDivineYoga, hana ʻo Thompson iā yoga no 10 mau makahiki a ke aʻo nei i ka hana no 4 mau makahiki. Ua loaʻa ʻo ia iā yoga ma hope o nā makahiki o ka hakakā ʻana me ke kaumaha kaumaha a me ka hopohopo.

"Aia kahi ʻōlelo inā mākaukau ka haumāna, e hōʻike ke kumu," wahi a Thompson. "Paipai kaʻu kauka i kēlā manawa hāʻawi wau i ka noʻonoʻo a yoga paha i kahi hoʻāʻo, a me kahi kuhikuhi no kahi antidepressant."

Mai ia manawa, ua hele ʻo Thompson i kahi nuʻukana e kaʻana like i kēia hoʻolālā maikaʻi me nā poʻe he hiki. "Manaʻo pinepine wau i nā kaiāulu liʻiliʻi, ke olakino noʻonoʻo a me nā hoʻolālā maoli e kōkua i ka poʻe e kū aʻe ʻaʻole e kūkākūkā ʻia," i ʻōlelo ʻo ia.

ʻO kāna ʻōlelo punahele e hōʻuluʻulu pono ana i ke kumu o kona aloha iā yoga:

"ʻO Satsang ke kono e hele i loko o ke ahi o ka loaʻa pilikino. ʻAʻole e kuni kēia ahi iā ʻoe, e hoʻomā wale nō ia i ka mea ʻaʻole ʻoe, a hoʻokuʻu i kou puʻuwai. "

Noho ʻo Thompson e nā huaʻōlelo, "ʻO wau he keiki na ke Akua Hemolele," a ke lana nei ka manaʻo e lawe mai i ka mana o yoga i loko o nā mainstream Black wellness space.
