| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Yoga Girl podcast. Thank you so much for tuning in with me today. I have a very |
| 0:11.6 | special podcast episode in store for you this week with everything that's happening in the world |
| 0:18.0 | right now, you know, with a hugely important momentum and long overdue momentum that we're seeing |
| 0:24.6 | around the Black Lives Matter movement with uprisings happening all across the United States and |
| 0:30.0 | protests and marches globally. I really want to dedicate space and time to talk about this this week. |
| 0:37.6 | Now if it's something that I've learned it's that what we don't need right now is another white |

| 1:42.8 | is like to experience this every day and what it is like to move through these days with this |
| 1:47.8 | movement and so many things changing and expanding and also coming to an edge right now. |
| 1:54.5 | So what you're going to hear is some storytelling. They are three people from different parts of |
| 1:59.2 | the world of course with different backgrounds and completely different perspectives as well |
| 2:04.0 | and this is a very very very valuable moment in time that we're in right now. We have the ability to |
