We’re All a Symphony

Several weeks ago I had the honor of attending an interfaith vigil for those who lost their lives in the Orlando nightclub shooting. It was an experience I’ll never forget.

With the rainbow flag in hands, from the NOHO Metro station to a nearby park, we sang We Shall Overcome and This Little Light of Mine (in Spanish and English).

Our hearts broke hearing the names and ages of those who are no longer with us in physical form.

It was inspiring to listen to speakers of various faiths and backgrounds. Christian, Muslim, Sikh, Baha’i, atheist, gay, straight, trans, black, white, latino etc…. – all encouraging us to take inspired action in whatever way we feel called to.

One speaker talked about how we all came here in physical form to play our particular notes. When we take the responsibility to play our personal notes, as whole, we are a beautiful symphony.

And when we attempt to play someone else’s notes, are ashamed to play our notes or are not allowed to play our notes- we become out of sync.

The speaker went on to say how unfortunate it is we will no longer hear the notes of the human beings whose lives were lost.

There was mention about the nightclub being a refuge for the LGBT community. The nightclub is sacred ground. It used to be, and perhaps still is, one of the only places where some felt they could truly be themselves.

This night club yoga video was created in honor of all affected by the events in Orlando. 

Use your breath as your internal rhythm. Let yourself be just as you are right now. 

I’m so curious, how do you express your personal notes? What reminds you that we are all a symphony? Please comment below. 

If this glow in the dark yoga flow helped you play or express your notes, share the love. Please forward it to anyone you think would dig it. 

Thank you for being here. 

Much Love,
