land + spiritual lineage acknowledgement
with deep reverence, i acknowledge that I reside on the ancestral homelands of several SiOUAN-SPEAKING TRIBES including the lumbee, coharie, tuscarora, catawba, waccamaw-siouan and many other indigenous people through time. As a guest, I am committed to learning and supporting the work of the original and current stewards of this land and am in constant practice of what it means to decolonize myself and my offerings. I offer this as a small piece of the larger complex work of dismantling systems of oppression.

I wish to honor the culture and teachings of yoga and Ayurveda by calling in my ancestors, a lineage of teachers that has passed this wisdom on through me, and by naming my native lands as the place where these practices originate and have been preserved for generations.
