Feminist Yogini: 5/9/10

Tuesday, May 11, 2010

Hi, folks. I have decided to take a hiatus from writing this blog for a while so that I can immerse myself in my yoga practice and in larger scale writing projects, including some that link feminism and yoga. Thank you for following my blog; I truly appreciate it. But in the interest of balance, I am going to let it go for a while.

Wishing you all a balanced and joyful summer. Be well,
Beth

A New Direction....Mindfulness and Yoga in the Classroom

My blog, Feminist Yogini, is taking a new direction: it will now explore bringing mindfulness and yogic lessons into the classroom, both the academic and the yoga classroom. Growing efforts in education are recognizing that mindfulness enhances the wellbeing of our students. Moreover, the nonjudgmental analysis that mindfulness and yoga practices teach helps students cultivate and apply skills of discernment, perception, and ethics that are essential for citizens in our global world.

But the day-to-day challenges of bringing mindfulness into the academic classroom pose many challenges. This blog will now explore some of the insights I have learned on my own journey. It will grapple with some of the questions I have encountered as I have brought yoga and mindfulness into my feminist classrooms. My hope is these thoughts will be of some use to those of you on similar paths.

Namaste,

Beth
