Yoga with Mo

I have decided to start a little series called What You Missed where I share some highlights from my social media. I hope you enjoy it.

First I bring you two replay videos from YouTube. The first is a replay of my Monday Instagram live class. It is a full body warm up designed to relieve tension in the hips and shoulders.

The second is an edited replay of the kids yoga live.

You can participate in these live classes on their various platforms or catch the replay on YouTube. Monday’s class is at 9:30am and Tuesday’s is at 4pm.

Over on Instagram and Facebook there was a lot more happening. I have been sowing the seeds of revolution that I feel stirring deep in my soul. I began the week by sharing my thoughts on the future of my business.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about what my purpose is and what I want this business to be. This is is what I’ve came up with so far. Now I have to think of how to make it happen.

Then I took it up a notch with the inspiration from Bob Marley.

You were not put on this earth to sit idly by while injustices were committed. You were not put on this earth to be trampled under the foot of the oppressor. You were meant to shine, thrive and flourish. Be seen. Be heard. Stand up and fight! #tuesdaytruth #truthtuesdays

I welcomed May with a call to preactice forgivness

Well it’s May. No one could have predicted this year. How are you doing? Do you feel like you should have accomplished more? Should is a powerful word that holds us captive through guilt. Forgive yourself. Allow yourself to just be. Listen to your body, do what’s right for you and take care of yourself. Your needs matter. You matter. #may #fridaythoughts

And called for liberation from the capitalist colonial patriachy.

All my life I have let people get away with harming me. I just kept going. I now realize that their actions were rooted in colonialism and patriarchy and my response and the pain I felt was part of generational trauma handed down from my ancestors. For so long the female body, particularly the black female body has been defined as hypersexual and shameful at the same time. Today if you dare define your body by something other and sex you are ridiculed and shamed. It’s okay that I didn’t start standing up for my body earlier. It’s okay that I let other people define how I should be in public spaces. It’s okay because today I say no more. Today I reclaim my body in all its glorious power. I am not my body. I love and appreciate it for all that it does. How I present my body is not about you. It’s about me being grateful for this temporary vehicle that allows me to experience this reality. One day I will part ways with this body. Until then I will stand up for my right to exist. My right to be beautiful and strong. My right to express that beauty. What are you forgiving yourself for today.
