UNCEDED LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT
Yoga for Bigger Bodies is held in person and via livestream from Portland, Oregon. Portland was created through systems and policies of racism, genocide, relocation and assimilation impacting the Native American and Indigenous tribes of the Multnomah, Wasco, Cowlitz, Kathlamet, Clackamas, Bands of Chinook, Tualatin, Kalapuya, Molalla and many other tribes who still live here today. I want to acknowledge and honor all Indigenous communities for their sacrifices and am extremely humbled and grateful for their continued presence, wisdom and caretaking of this land.
