What does it mean to \u201cshow up?\u201d This is generally understood as the act of bringing your best self to all your activities, of living in the integrity of your intentions as well as your actions, and holding fast to social commitments and responsibility. Yogic philosophy describes three different types of showing up: There\u2019s the commitment to practice, or <\/span>sadhana<\/span><\/i>; there\u2019s showing up for oneself by developing personal truth (Satya<\/a>) through self-study (Svadhyaya<\/a>); and then there\u2019s the directive to show up for community, to create <\/span>sangha<\/span><\/i>, a community that supports and encourages one\u2019s spiritual journey. When considered in modern life, the idea of \u201cshowing up\u201d can be even deeper, and take on even greater import.<\/span><\/p>\n

For Dr. Chelsea Jackson Roberts<\/a>, social justice activist and founder of Atlanta-based Red Clay Yoga<\/a> and Yoga, Literature, & Art Camp<\/a>, showing up means practically applying yogic principles in an unjust and often-inaccessible society. \u201cI do a lot of work speaking my truth advocating for youth\u2014black and brown youth in particular\u2014to speak up what their realities and truth within their communities. Showing up means to actually put the components of yoga to practice out into the world,\u201d she says. <\/span><\/p>\n

Chelsea believes that yoga helps to foster a sense of groundedness, and an awakening to see the world with deeper clarity and empathy. \u201cSo if we\u2019re using the breath, and if we are open to being honest about what we’re experiencing in this life,\u201d she says, \u201cthen showing up means allowing those things to all come together in order for us to move into action.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Showing up means to actually put the components of yoga to practice out into the world.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That is to say, once you\u2019ve explored your Satya and created your sangha\u2014once your well is full and you\u2019re able to serve others\u2014true yoga not only asks but <\/span>requires<\/span><\/i> that we take our practice off the mat. For Chelsea, to show up in the integrity of practice requires us acknowledge the eternal oneness of all beings. We are all connected. How can one being be happy and free if another is not?<\/span><\/p>\n

What Accessibility in Yoga Means<\/h3>\n

There are certainly rumblings in the mindful community about the lack of accessibility in yoga. This is visible in the lack of studios and opportunities in certain communities, and also in who (and who are not) celebrated as teachers, speakers, and leaders. Changing this is where the real work of yoga begins. Marginalized communities, says Chelsea, need mindfulness<\/a> and wellness opportunities, as these practices are ideal primers for advocacy. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPeople don\u2019t really initially understand the connection between yoga and social change,\u201d says Chelsea. \u201cMore than anything I feel like it gets us in a position for us to be open and ready to have physical conversations. Because yoga is an embodied practice\u2014and because these conversations can create tension in our body\u2014it is a great tool for us to move through to breath, to remember to breathe, to resource ourselves,\u201d she says. <\/span><\/p>\n

Chelsea is well-acquainted with the need to resource herself. As a black American woman, she has firsthand experience with marginalization and accessibility. She uses that lens to understand the other ways that people experience oppression\u2014whether it’s gender, identity, or religion\u2014or the systems that do that. \u201cFor people who have had opportunities to really speak, and to have had leadership positions, it’s now time for those folks to start to step back so that other people can step up,\u201d she says. But the most important first step is to listen first. \u201cDepending on historically what your experience has been with being silenced,\u201d says Chelsea, \u201cnow it’s time for there to be a shift.\u201d Yoga can play an expressive role in facilitating that shift. <\/span><\/p>\n

Chelsea is a faculty member of Off the Mat, Into the World<\/a>, an advocacy organization founded by Seane Corn,\u00a0Hala Khouri, and Suzanne Sterling in 2007. Off the Mat is just one of the many organizations working toward this change. \u201cThere are a lot of different spaces that are intersectional, that are bringing and bridging the ways in which we experience this world in inequities so that we can understand each other to go deeper into our own healing, and then also to start to transform things together, and to work together,\u201d says Chelsea. And that\u2019s what showing up is all about.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Journey to Showing Up<\/h3>\n

Chelsea started her career teaching in Title I schools in the Atlanta area after returning with a Masters Degree from Columbia University in International Educational Development. She\u2019d been a certified yoga teacher since 2007, but it was her work in the classroom that Chelsea started to notice the intersection of yoga, literacy, and mindfulness programs. She started Yoga, Literature, & Art (YLA) Camp as part of her PhD dissertation at Emory University. At the time, says Chelsea, she just considered yoga a hobby\u2014she was on the track to be a tenured professor. But life had other plans.<\/span><\/p>\n

For people who have had opportunities to really speak, and to have had leadership positions, it’s now time for those folks to start to step back so that other people can step up.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cThe next year after my dissertation, families [of YLA campers] started calling, writing, and asking when the next camp was going to be,\u201d says Chelsea. \u201cMy husband and I regrouped\u2026 We used our wedding gifts to be the donations to our seed money for Red Clay Yoga.\u201d Started in 2014, Red Clay Yoga has now expanded to provide access to yoga<\/a> for youth not just in the Atlanta area, but to provide training for teachers and allies, \u201cpeople who are committed to justice and want to utilize yoga as the tool to get them there, and also heal throughout the process.\u201d Now a full-time non-profit, Red Clay Yoga provides programs to youth, training for yoga teachers, educators, and community activists.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chelsea\u2019s vision is more than just a great idea\u2014it\u2019s working. Many of the girls who entered the original YLA, when they were 13 years old, have now matriculated from high school. \u201cWe\u2019re having our first weekend leadership retreat with some of the girls who will be moving into a yoga teacher training,\u201d says Chelsea. One of the young women, now a college freshman, wants to teach yoga while she\u2019s in school. \u201cThese were the programs that we saw were essential with our communities,\u201d she says. Chelsea\u2019s husband and Red Clay Yoga co-founder, Shane Roberts<\/a>, is currently working to develop a similar program for young boys. <\/span><\/p>\n

Why This All Matters<\/h3>\n

When it really all comes down to it, the practice of yoga is to tune in, which in turn, allows us to be our best selves outwardly with the world. There\u2019s a persistent thought in the community that coming to the mat allows you to develop your best self\u2014which is enough. This, however, can be seen as a form of what\u2019s known as \u201cspiritual bypassing<\/a>.\u201d Simply having a physical yoga practice doesn\u2019t necessarily mean that you\u2019ve done the hard work to share those teachings with the world. Chelsea believes that we can use our yoga practice \u201cas a tool to go deeper and understand ourselves, and the ways in which we are contributing to systems of oppression, or benefiting from systems of oppression, or how we want to transform it.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Chelsea believes that any time we have the access\u2014the privilege\u2014to practice, to go and sit and be with ourselves, we have a responsibility to work toward expanding that access. \u201cIf we are true to this practice of yoga in that it is about liberation, peace, oneness, and nonviolence,\u201d says Chelsea, \u201cthen it’s impossible for us to do that in this isolated experience, thinking that if \u2018we’re good\u2019 then that’s all that matters.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Working toward fixing this can happen many ways. Chelsea cites rampant gentrification in Atlanta\u2014and in a lot of communities across the US\u2014as a reason that the mindful community has a particular responsibility to consider accessibility. \u201cA lot of communities who have been there are being pushed out, and so, it does feel great to go and work on myself at a beautiful yoga studio but, what is the cost?\u201d asks Chelsea. \u201cWhat is the expense, and how does it impact<\/a> someone else within the community, or outside of the community?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The way that people can start to show up… is to start to be honest about who is present, and who is not present in your yoga studios.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Chelsea says there are lots of ways that people can begin to accept this responsibility. Just like doing a headstand for the first time can feel like a serious risk, the work isn\u2019t easy. \u201cI feel like the way that people can start to show up,\u201d says Chelsea, \u201cespecially white folks who are practicing yoga as it’s practiced here in the United States, can start to be honest about who is present, and who is not present in your yoga studios.\u201d Think about who\u2019s being elevated as a master teacher; consider walking away from studios that don\u2019t consider inclusivity and diversity. <\/span><\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve started to notice the systems of oppression that show up in your sacred spaces, it\u2019s easier to begin to change. \u201cIt\u2019s way overdue for us to start doing yoga work by calling on the same tools, practices, and philosophies that drew us to the practice in the first place. For me, it was liberation,\u201d says Chelsea. <\/span><\/p>\n

Because maybe that\u2019s ultimately what yoga is all about. No being is free\u2014there is no true liberation\u2014until we are all free. We all have a responsibility to continue showing up until we all have the opportunity to do so.<\/span><\/p>\n
