Alignment Series

One of my spiritual practices is what many yoga teachers describe as “leaning into discomfort” and exploring why particular concepts trigger my shadow self to rise ready to fight. This series was born from my discomfort with the word “alignment” – a word that has been co-oped by chiropractors and communicates that people prefer to keep in the light and out of the shadow. These are foreigners in my inner landscape, but I made this series to welcome them into my practice and to figure out how this word could truly resonate for me.

It turns out that, for me, alignment is about allies. It’s about working with the current rather than against it – the currents of my physical body, of my creative connection with the universe, and of the beauty that feeds my soul.
