Three things I love about Kira Sloan's practice: 1) the use of feminine pronouns. I feel myself instinctively kinder and softer with my body, regarding lung, limb, and digits as young, impressionable, and innocent girls. The inward change is palpable. 2) Kira's lush menu options. Some people put butter on their toast; some jam, some Cinnamon, some ghee, and some plain. As server, Kira recognizes that it's not her job to tell customers what they like and how they should order. Instead, she grsnts us permission to ask ourselves those questions and answer them for ourselves. 3) what I call "Taking it off the mat." Kira invites us to find solace in our mat selves when facing life's burdens. ⚘
