About this listen

Skill in Action asks you to explore the deeply transformational practice of yoga as a way to become an agent of social change and work toward a just world. Through yoga practices and philosophy, 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.

To provide a strong foundation to begin this work, Michelle Cassandra Johnson clearly defines power and privilege, oppression, liberation, and suffering, and invites you to make changes in your life that promote equality and freedom for all. This revised and expanded edition offers journaling practices and prompts in each chapter; includes more material on how power and privilege inform the yoga industry; explains how to integrate justice into teaching the eight limbs of yoga; and offers ways to support people as they move through their resistance and discomfort in the face of injustice. This edition also offers a fuller look at how the yamas and niyamas - the ethical precepts of yoga - can be studied in order to create a more just world, and it offers more support for yoga teachers seeking to radicalize their yoga.

We all deserve to live in peace and dignity. The way forward is here, skillfully communicated in practical steps that seemingly float on a philosophical underpinning that is at once ancient, fundamental, and yet brilliant in this moment.

indeed..the book itself is skill in action

Loved the insight and how she spoke up on the unspoken that so many of us from the southern back have seen. Great job.

Michelle is an incredible human, who challenges you to go beyond your inner practice and bring attention to interconnectivity, how you’re holding space as a teacher, and challenge systems of oppression. I can’t wait to read all of her books!

There is actually a good overall message to be told here but this book does not build a good case or tell a good story
