There are roughly 65 million refugees in the world. I left Iran, my country of birth, in 1978 and joined the many millions who no longer had an official nation state to call theirs.

One of the biggest and most important lessons I have learned from my yoga practice is to love my body, not if it was 5 pounds lighter, if it had a six pack protruding through my shirt, or if it would only do a certain pose, but just the way it is...

Maybe you’ve seen Jessamyn Stanley on Instagram bearing these bold words on the tender side of her bicep like a promise from the mighty Ganesha himself. Everything about Jessamyn shatters our limiting paradigms of what yoga is, who it’s designed for, and who “should” be teaching it...

Turn to the mat: a beautiful reminder that life does not have to be perfect; rather, life is about learning how to show up, how to let go of expectations and how to practice: not perfection. Life will be messy and break even the most perfect of us; yoga allows us to look at circumstances like a beautiful mess...

As a social justice activist, Jasmine also outlines why acting with kindness and compassion is just as crucial to your practice as doing a downward dog...
