Episode 24: Active Peace & Defiant Joy with Reggie Hubbard

We came away from this chat with Reggie Hubbard feeling ON F*CKING FIRE, friends. Reggie (he/him) is a self-described committed yogi, activist, recovering political operative, intersectional spiritualist, and seeker of love and justice for all. As the creator of Active Peace Yoga, Reggie's on a mission to make the practice of yoga and living the yogic lifestyle more accessible to all - regardless of race, gender, body type, or practice level - to form peace of mind and general wellbeing as a foundation, not as an afterthought.

Tune in to hear us talk about...

• Reggie's path from being a high-achieving political operative to realizing that he had to prioritize caring for himself in a deep way

• What it has meant for him to be a Black man in the spaces he's occupied, from presidential campaigns to Capitol Hill at the height of the Tr*mp impeachment

• The unexpected yet divine way his career unfolded, especially as a civics educator for young people

• How he's brought yoga, healing, and ancient wisdom to his own activism as well as the politicians and movement leaders he's in relationship with today

• How he has kicked down the doors of progressive white supremacy in spaces where "liberal" white folks are causing harm while believing themselves to be the "good ones"

• Reggie's defiantly joyful philosophy of "no bad days" and how he honors this without spiritually bypassing the real pain and harm that's happening today

...and more!
