  • ✨ New blog post on Omstars ✨ It’s easy for me to rhapsodize about the way yoga has held me in my relationship with my body. Like so many of us from so many backgrounds, my early life taught me to experience my body as a source of shame, vulnerability, and discomfort. When I began practicing yoga in my early adulthood as part of eating disorder recovery, it gave me a new sense of my body as a source of vitality, joy, and strength. I especially loved that it bypassed my struggle to fix my “body image issues.” When I move and breathe, I feel viscerally that, in fact, my body isn’t an image—it’s me, an ever-changing reality to be experienced, not gazed at. -- Check out our newest addition to the Yoga & Body Image series we're running on the Omstars blog. Today's post is from licensed psychotherapist and certified yoga therapist, @suzannahneufeld Suzannah has specialized in supporting people in coping with eating disorders, body image concerns, and maternal mental health since 2003, so this is a post you'll definitely want to read. #omstars #ybicoalition #yogaandbodyimage #repost @omstarsofficial

  • The words may move you to tears, bring you a sigh of relief or comfort… or they may make you angry. Or maybe the words simply make you uncomfortable or challenge a long-held belief. Whatever arises, it’s a gift in the form of an opportunity. It’s an opportunity to practice, listen, learn and grow. It may also be an opportunity to detect and identify internalized and unexamined prejudice or bias in our heart. - Melanie Klein .

  • #repost @asanasketch ・・・ 🕉 Vira = hero Bhadra = friend [Virabhadra = warrior incarnation of Shiva] Asana = pose This is definitely not the first time warrior pose has shown up around here, but it's been a while since I shared the story behind the name: • Virabhadra was a fierce warrior incarnation of Shiva. The story goes that when Shiva learned of his wife Sita's death due to the treachery of his father in law, he ripped a lock of hair from his head that became the vengeful Virabhadra. This incarnation of Shiva is represented with 3 eyes, a thousand arms, a garland of skulls around his neck, and fiery hair. • I think the inspiration shot for this #AsanaSketch is the *perfect* embodiment of the fierceness of warrior pose. 2018 was an unbelievably tough year for me, and I'm sure I wasn't alone. So let's all start 2019 with the unstoppable fire and fierceness of Virabhadra - here's to making the year ahead one to remember! 🔥🙏❤ • A big big thank you to @somewhere_under_the_rainbow for the perfect inspiration to kick off a new year (and that outfit, you are serving up a MAJOR look here I just could. not. resist 😍🙌❤)

  • “Today is for all women. Those who live close by, and those in other continents. Women with different cultural backgrounds - women who look like you, and women who look different from you. This day is to stand hand in hand and support all; strong women, vulnerable women, confident women, insecure women, ambitious women, and women who don't know yet what they want with their lives. Old and young women, sick and healthy women, rich and poor women. Women with mental health issues. Women with a strong vision, and also women still developing one. Women who were born with a vulva, and women who weren't born with one. Women without a vulva or vagina. Women who identify as lesbian, bisexual, heterosexual, queer, pansexual, asexual or any other sexual orientation. Cis women and trans women. Intersex women. Women who work full time, and women who stay at home and take care of their families. Women from all kinds of religious backgrounds, and women without a religion. Women of all shapes and sizes, fat or skinny, tall or short, with dark or light skin, hairy or bald. Women with or without breasts. Women who suffer from a psychological disorder or trauma. Women who aren't sure if they identify as a woman. Women who are being suppressed, neglected, or otherwise treated badly because they are female. We support all women, because they are human beings like you and me. They live together with us in this world and therefore should have equal rights. All women are all equally valuable, worthy and deserve to be seen and heard. They need to be loved, accepted and respected. They are human beings, like you and I. Every woman deserves an equal opportunity to grow and develop, and have the freedom in choosing what she/they want(s) to do.
