Kira and Zoe talk about sharing the teachings of yoga across different languages and cultures—specifically in Chinese culture. Zoe explains that although our nuances and traditions may be different, some things like laughter and compassion transcend all cultures.
Kate and Kira thank you ! For sharing so much love here and being in this conversation together. Such a good time to revisit this and remember, as the yoga journey continues and life evolves (I’m now a yoga therapist too and even sillier hahah), but the heart of what I feel magical about yoga remains true - there is so much opportunity to be there for each other in the nuance of care, and magical space to express deeper things when we are open. I’m going to read Oriah Mountain Dreamer’s poem “The Invitation” again! Hugs! xoxo
Zoe Ho are you in Toronto? I hope things are going well, and that you're healthy and safe : ) I'm just just 4 hours down the road in Ottawa - an impossible distance now with no pee-stops along the way!! Be well: )
Kate thank you! I've been making the best of this time to make art to practice self-care and mindfulness. Totally hear you about pee stops hahah! I'm based in Vancouver these days, although I used to live in the Northwest Territories (where it's a 3 day drive along the Dempster Highway just from Whitehorse to get to Inuvik where I lived, and that means loos-au-naturel - shrubbery - along the highway haha)! Ottawa is lovely. Although were you hit by snow just recently too? Take care and stay safe and well
