Embodying Shakti Beyond the Binary w/ Everly Coleman

Myriad Yoga Podcast

In this awesome and important episode we look at this week's focus, Shakti, and how it can be embodied by all beings (not just those who identify as cis-gender female). Shakti is the energy of creation, dynamism and feminine energy which can be embodied by anyone, beyond the gender binary of 'male' and 'female'. Everly, a beloved member, shares her experience as a trans woman, how cis people can be better allies to anyone who is non-binary or trans and much much more. We touch on her art, how art and creating are also major themes of this week and how we can all embody the Shakti energy in degrees and forms.
