Practice Makes Purpose: Yogi J Miles

In the final episode of this summer series, we talk with master teacher Yogi J Miles @yogijmiles about the ways we can level up and serve one another in these interesting times. Yogi J and host Reggie Hubbard (@oreggieglobal) share thoughts on the ways we all can do better, what the pandemic has shown us and that if we don’t start doing better - as practitioners and humans - things will only get worse. It is up to us to change ourselves and serve one another.

Practice Makes Purpose: Marc Settembrino

In this episode we discuss notions of fat liberation, body consciousness and complete inclusivity with teacher Marc Settembrino (@fatkidyogaclub). Marc freely shares ideas on how we can make spaces more welcome not only for people in bigger bodies, but also for trans yogis (check out @transyogaproject ) Of the many amazing nuggets of wisdom shared in this conversation, the quote that stands out the most in the context of the continued work of inclusion is: “Who am I leaving out? Who can I better include?” Marc also discussed the situation in Louisiana in light of the recent landfall of Hurricane Ida. For a list of places you can support check out @fatkidyogaclub bio link. If you can’t send money, send prayer and good thoughts. If you do send money, support local groups doing the work.

Practice Makes Purpose: Oneika Mays

This week we sit with Oneika Mays (@oneikamays) to discuss her path from the beginnings of her practice nearly a decade ago and how it now allows her the chance to serve inmates on Rikers Island. Oneika candidly discusses many of the frustrations she feels and how her practices prepare her to hold space for and sit with darkness and complexity rather than avoid it. When asked about those who think yoga/mindfulness and social justice do not mix, Oneika pointedly and compassionately said, “Well then they aren’t practicing.” The episode closes with a centering practice and some sound to seal the delightful conversation. And so it is!

Practice Makes Purpose: Leslie Rangel

This episode features Leslie Rangel (@thenewsyogi ) and host Reggie Hubbard (@oreggieglobal ) talking about Leslie’s beautiful story of how she merges yogic practice with the rigors of journalism in service to others in the profession. They share similar stories on how their practices were born of the pandemic and a commitment to serve others giving them healing tools to thrive, not just survive, in these interesting times. Tune in and be both entertained and inspired by Leslie’s words, work and wisdom.
