I am excited to once again work with Treelinereview for a new story. This article is Yoga for Downhill Skiers! I used to be an avid downhill skier. Now I mostly cross-country ski, but wanted to offer my ideas of how yoga can help prepare you for the ski season.

When I was growing up in Cedar Hills, my family “hosted” two black children. Black children were bussed to my school, and after school a child would come home with us, and wait for the bus to come pick them up. I remember thier names – Pierre and Tracy. My recollection is that my mom did this for two years. I remember how I knew that this was somehow controversial for my family to participate in this. I see now how little I understood.
The murders of Black people at the hands of the police is horrifying and must stop.
Black Lives Matter.
I am educating myself through books and online courses to help me understand how I can help end anti-Black racism and racism against BIPOC.
As part of the IYNAUS board, I will participate in the initiatives and actions to these attain these goals.
As an individual and teacher, I pledge to:
I know that I can’t just say these things, that I must follow through on my intentions, and improve on them as I learn more.
