Selena Isles Yoga

Are you willing right now to offer yourself RADICAL FREEDOM through rest? Are you willing to approach life as a ritual rather than something you’ve got to do? Through fierce grace I give you my personnel practice for the FIRST time @expoyoga_canada To do this I sat down and thought what could I offer a world that hasn’t been very graceful with me? What can I offer women who feel the same ways I do? ... How can I catalyse my anger, love, rage, and fears to compassion, peace, freedom, grace and forgiveness? How can I honour my grandmother, my abuela, my aunties and my mother? How can I truly honour women? My answer was rest, offer them your REST. Offer them your ritual. We need to face our own fears and awaken our hearts to forgiveness of ourselves to really be WILLING offer forgiveness to others. It all starts with you. Forgiveness has been found in rest, compassion has been in rest , my resistance has been rest to a world that has told us time and time again you’re not worthy through this intersection, I looked at all the suffering and I offer radical freedom, tender hearted bravery through vulnerability with rest. I offer you my own personnel practice a hybrid version of what I do each day - my personal #nonnegotiable I give you permission to take 75 minutes from your day and learn how to destressify through santosha (ease filled) movement, the sacred questions, guided Tonglen meditation and layered Nidra nap and reflection. I offer you this feeling right now, close your eyes and breathe into a vison of yourself having taken a nap? Sit in what would it REALLY feel like if you were rested? if we’re all told daily come, and sit with me, don’t speak, and just breathe. I’m honoured that @expoyoga_canada understood my gift of rest be GIVEN to any woman and ALL women and MADE exclusively accessible my BIWOC black indigenous women of colour who have never been given the grace of rest. I am honoured that they heard my non negotiable. Use the code AMOUR.

Selena Isles Yoga Weekend two... digital edition... Hybridisation of teaching is necessary...

HARI OM TAT SAT 6 years, from Yoga B's Wednesday prenatal teacher to Friday morning Vinyasa specials to Monday night Ashtanga gatherings. From yoga teacher to studio co owner, to founding member of coop collective that is Béco Yoga. It's been a bitter sweet journey and I’ve drank your cold bitter tea many times and tasted your warmth, and sighed contently in peaceful moments.... I questioned your presence in my life, and too many times I’ve questioned my purpose inside your walls and within your community. In your space I learned surrender, I learned courage, I learned vulnerability, compassion. I experienced insecurity, ignorance, culturally inappropriate love and light and misplaced spirituality. I became intimate with FEAR swiping right too many times, I learned contained anger and held rage. I learned forgiveness. I learned myself. I found my around the way girlfriend PHIL @bgreen_plus , my Braveheart run screaming through the valley Leo doppelganger Lo and our lady of Virgo mercy and wine Sands. Even in the darkness you lit my life up and gave me a path, to work out everything I needed to, you held the mirror up to revel the piss and shit of the world and plant love in it. You were not the journey I wanted al the time - you were definitely the journey I needed to see myself. When I taught THE last class within your walls March 15, 2020 I knew it was our last time. It was fitting I would be the last YOGA TEACHER in this epic storied quiet space tucked away on Prince Arthur street. It was fitting that you gave me the last AUM to be chanted and echoed within your walls for eternity. HARI OM TAT SAT the honour has been all mine. #selenaislesyoga #hariom #jeanmichelbasquiat

I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down, you know the one that takes you to the places... the moment I realised my container was too small is the moment I realised I had been playing small. I will not enlighten anyone, I will not teach anyone to be this or that because I can not - that is your responsibility that is your right. What I WILL do is take you down the only road and all the roads I’ve been down, using my life as your map to yourself - because you’re n...ever alone, WE ARE a million different moments from one minute to the next and we are all having this one moment together selena Isles. Selena Isles Yoga I am here on the shoulders of the giants who did not enlighten me - what they did do was shine the light on my own mould I refused to break out of until I finally did. I am here because a woman made decision that she was not going to accept any role written for her- she would write her own. I am here teaching you today because the mother my mother believed I could do it before I was even a thought in her mind. I am skill in action. #selenaislesyoga #teachertraining #vinyasakrama #dharma @ Yoga Vibe Brossard
