Honoring the intersections of Juneteenth, Pride Month, and Lā Hoʻihoʻi Ea - Let’s use this day to celebrate progress and as a reminder that Black yoga professionals must prioritize radical self-care, even when institutions demand more from us. As Black yoga teachers, it’s important to recharge and prepare for the future hurdles in yoga spaces that we will undoubtedly face. By taking the time to rest, we can control our own legacies while also paving the way for our fellow Black yoga teachers, students, and trainees to follow. It’s crucial to take care of our bodies, minds, and spirits so that we can continue the work we’re passionate about, despite the scrutiny, discrimination, and pressure that often comes in our field. Let’s use this day to celebrate our resilience and prioritize our well-being.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d18d5121b23665db659f01/7c8610ed-6fae-4658-92d7-c1328ebb29a9/IMG_0899.JPG The PKY Blog - ʻEkolu: PKY turns three!

Our work is rooted in social justice, community liberation, and activism and every month we are hoping to highlight different topics that allow us to dive deeper into our Hawaiʻi community - uplifting more voices and experiences of Hawaiʻi’s marginalized communities, Kānaka, and BIPOC. This is a new project for PKY and so we know we will be learning alongside you. This blog is meant to serve as a starting point and to inspire you to think deeply about your positionality within society and within Hawaiʻi. We will be sharing the articles and ʻike (knowledge) we reference within these blogs to provide you with more tools and resources to explore on your own time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d18d5121b23665db659f01/abf6d04a-66ee-4061-9515-e0603fca54e7/Screen+Shot+2024-02-01+at+10.18.44+PM.png The PKY Blog - PKY is Planting Seeds to Amplify Healing Justice in Hawai’i. - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d18d5121b23665db659f01/8521cd66-9a6a-4959-91f5-11973a4cb296/Screen+Shot+2024-02-01+at+10.19.10+PM.png The PKY Blog - PKY is Planting Seeds to Amplify Healing Justice in Hawai’i. - Stay tuned for our next blog post in two weeks!

I am a vice principal at Kamehameha Middle School and was previously a social studies teacher at Kamehameha and Kailua High Schools. My passion is Hawaiian history and education! It is essential for people to have a deep understanding of the history of Hawaiʻi, as it enables them to empathize with the Hawaiian people and appreciate their vast and amazing knowledge and the intricate process of Westernization. A comprehensive understanding of Hawaiʻi's history is crucial for embracing cultural diversity and the Hawaiian people’s historical trauma. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d18d5121b23665db659f01/bcbdf316-00ea-42f6-8d35-3d95e64fb3f6/file-4.jpeg Kumus - Kumu Malina Kaulukukui C.

Elijah, also known as Kahu Kala, is the co-founder (with his wife Jazmin Yong) of Awakened Aloha, an organization focused on “inspiring a world where aloha is the heartbeat of humanity.” Awakened Aloha’s work bridges ancient wisdom and ancestral connection to modern wellness through the mauli ola (healing arts), la’au lapa’au (plant medicine), aloha education, and community development. His work has inspired hearts in the educational, political, and spiritual sectors of modern Hawai’i to visioneer a future that promotes harmony for all people beginning with Hawai’i and her children. As an ambassador of aloha and messenger of lokahi, Elijah shares a universal message that lays at the foundation of all people and cultures, “aloha ‘aina, aloha akua, aloha kanaka” (a deep honor and reverence for the land, the spirits, and the people). May this message of truth reach all dimensions of existence and call forth unity from the depths of po to the peaks of the lewa lani. E ola mau. More on Elijah: The Chiefhood As a passionate coach for healthy masculine development and an avid participant in mens work, Elijah founded The Chiefhood in 2021, to create spaces for “men of worldwide heritages to grow in their power, love, and connection to lead ourselves, our families, our communities, and the world into a heart-centered humanity.” This space creates a container for men who battle with mental, emotional, spiritual, and relational issues in their lives plaguing the hearts of man with depression, anxiety, insecurities, and a loss of identity, purpose, and contribution. The Chiefhood gathers men weekly for conscious conversations around such topics and dives deep into cultural connection twice every mahina (moon cycle) to cleanse, activate, and empower the sacred embodiments of the inner chief. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d18d5121b23665db659f01/1650123697076-I2GBKCJ2WZN0NRFOXP9D/IMG_3488.JPG Kumus - Ryan Keali`i Souza Ryan is on a forever journey of discovery.

This is who he is and who he strives to maintain and elevate with every step upon his peculiar journey of life. Through his gifts and talents he is able to share with and connect to those who are open and ready to dive into the depths of spirit, of self, and of Aloha. https://www.projectkoayoga.com/yoga-teachers daily 0.75 2023-06-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d18d5121b23665db659f01/1648856109406-RE2G6G33SVN9N58XOKU3/IMG_9660.JPG Yoga Teachers - Sona Desai Buchanan Week 1 + 3: Yoga History & Bhagavad Gita Week 8: Ayurveda Sona Desai Buchanan (she/her), E-RYT 500 Sona is a devoted yoga educator and facilitator with roots in Gujarat, India. Born on Wurundjeri land (colonized as Melbourne, Australia) and raised on Lumbee land (Raleigh, NC) Sona’s yoga journey began during her formative years, with bedtime stories that were sacred scriptures (shastra), morning worship (puja) accompanied by chanting of mantra, daily ayurvedic rituals and years of studying Indian folk and classical dance. In 2004, she began a hatha yoga practice to balance the intensity of being a college student and dancer. About a decade later, she shifted focus to mantra, restorative yoga and yoga nidra practices in order to heal and prepare her body for motherhood. Sona received her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Anthropology from New York University. She completed her 200 hr teacher training at Kripalu Yoga and her 300 hour advanced training at 8 Limbs Yoga Center. She has offered yoga education for 14 years and led yoga teacher training nationally for the last 6. Her ancestral teachings combined with the lived experiences of growing up in a brown body in the South, learning to thrive after complex childhood trauma and serving as a military spouse have all shaped her deep interest in intersectionality, trauma and social justice. Sona feels compelled and inspired to share these practices and philosophies in a way that is accessible to everyone while advocating for equity and inclusivity in yoga spaces and the greater community. In addition, decolonizing Western yoga means holding tension and space to uphold the integrity, reverence and depth of yoga and Ayurveda while meeting students as they are, both in their humanness and beingness. Sona resides on the ancestral and present-day homelands of the Manso people and the Piro-Manso-Tiwa tribe as well as the shared traditional lands of the Suma, Jumano, Jocome, Mescalero Apache, Warm Springs Apache, Chiricahua Apache, Jano, Conchas, Manso, Piro, Tapaxkolmeh, Ysleta del Sur Pueblo, Tortugas and other indigenous people through time with her husband, baby girl and pup.
