Join Robyn for a strong vinyasa flow and prayer ritual to remember our bodies, to remember where we come from, and to remember our humanity.
As we do the work of remembering on Chumash land, through the yoga tradition of South Asian ancestors, on the day commonly known as Thanksgiving, Robyn is practicing reciprocity by offering her payment to the Many Winters Gathering of Elders. MWGOE is an annual spiritual and educational gathering on Gabrielino-Tongva territory. This gathering of teachings from Native Elders was initiated as a response to the false teachings of the history of Native peoples on this land.This is a donation based offering.
