i wanted to mention that if you’ve seen me and enjoyed me talking about yoga and diet and the heart at all in my life, it’s thanks to @goldenarcline. i’ve never met anyone more consistently holistic and robust in yoga—union— pervading all aspects of her life: ethics, art, being
it has warmed even this suspicious heart of mine i’ve learnt a few things. one, yoga transmission by anything but 1:1 friendship can only go so far. i was trying to do yoga, she made it my own she changed it for me, because she wasnt responding to yoga, she was responding to me
two, it matters who you get this from. i haven’t seen anyone carry the bones of yoga in the bones of her body more. people gift you more than skills, they gift you a relationship with it. i’m gifted a relationship where i can taste health in food, make decisions from heart
, and care for strangers, because they are here despina cares. i don’t know why she cares, but she does. im beginning to accept the mystery of caring about the world. we just do https://t.co/dJGYXavwS3 https://t.co/I0PvWB9Tde
third, yogic wisdom doesn’t replace relational wisdom. i can’t emphasise this enough. meditation wisdom doesn’t replace relational wisdom. they don’t replace anything. they’re just ways of moving. that movement through the world helps our primal intelligence update https://t.co/pqAmAdkavA
i thought "yoga" was the thing that was making me intelligent. despina’s yoga, now my yoga, made me see i was the thing making me intelligent. me in yoga she helped me valorise not yoga, but me in yoga 🌍👨‍🚀🔫👨‍🚀 https://t.co/bn73NWfawM
