Feminist Yogini: New Direction

I've moved my Feminist Yogini Blog. Come check it out on my new website: Beth Berila. Exciting new work on yoga, feminism, and the body coming soon!

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
