WHAT'S BLOWING AND GROWING MY MIND.
In here book, Skill in Action: Radicalizing Your Yoga Practice, Michelle Cassandra Johnson invites us to Create a Just World, asking you to explore the deeply transformational practice of yoga, and to become a social change agent so that you can create a world that is just for all. This book explores liberation for ourselves and others, while asking us to engage in our own agency, whether that manifests as activism, volunteer work, or changing our relationships with others and ourselves.
A manifesto for practicing any kind of conscious life based upon the understanding that our liberation is bound with all living beings and bodies.

WHAT'S GOT ME MOVING + GROOVING.
As a supporter of Rising Appalachia on Patreon, I was invited to a free movement class offered by Quentin Robinson, professional dancer, teacher of dance, and founder of the nonprofit Movements for Movement, who appears in the band's "Resilient" video (mind blown!) ... I was the only one to appear in the Zoom room and, in a major act of courage, I remained and received a free hip-hop lesson and had 30 of the funnest and bravest minutes of my life! Check out the links and video featuring Quentin and other amazing dancers. Enjoy. Donate. ... And when we're back on the dance floor together soon, I'll show you my new moves.

Why Wild Sage?
I am a freelance writer-editor and certified yoga teacher based in Sonoma County, CA.

I am a freelance writer-editor and certified yoga teacher based in Sonoma County, CA. I facilitate yoga classes, healing arts workshops, and women’s circles based on belief in the transformative, healing, and empowering nature of embodied expression in all forms: writing, art, breath, movement, ritual, and meditation.
My background is in education—teaching literacy skills and expository + creative writing. Over the last 25 years, I have worked with students of all ages, levels, backgrounds, and abilities.
My longtime yoga practice, cultivated in the crucible of grad school and a sweaty Bikram studio 20 years ago, gradually yielded into a daily devotion that naturally evolved into teaching. I was trained and certified in Shri Yoga, a synthesis of Hatha traditions rooted in the eight limbs of yoga and including principles of Anusara (consciousness) and Viniyoga (adaptation).
I am by nature a collaborator and relationship builder. I write, practice, teach, volunteer, and facilitate workshops to energize, awaken, inspire, and co-create personal and communal
(rev)elation + (r)evolution.

PHILOSOPHY
I strive to learn and integrate yoga philosophy into my life and teaching on the daily, and believe I am only as good a teacher as I am a student.
I operate from an ever-growing understanding that yoga is a living, mutable practice, at once physical, soulful, and
unique to each individual.

I strive to learn and integrate yoga philosophy into my life and teaching on the daily, and believe I am only as good a teacher as I am a student.
I operate from an ever-growing understanding that yoga is a living, mutable practice, at once physical, soulful, and
unique to each individual.
Whatever the reason for coming to the mat, yoga is a great gift of self-wisdom available to every body and being.
Through breath, movement, and dedication, yoga works to calm the mind, engage the body, and cultivate an awareness which helps us to accomplish great feats of humanness:
FOCUS, STRENGTH, FLEXIBILITY,
PEACE, HEALING, BALANCE,
VIBRANCY, CONNECTION.
Yoga is not only good exercise and personal medicine, it is an expression of how we each live our lives—providing us with
challenges, choices, insights, and rewards both on and off the mat.
