4 Corners Yoga Wellness transcends the traditional boundaries of a yoga studio; it is a vibrant community dedicated to fostering not only physical and mental well-being but also social and environmental justice.
In a world often overshadowed by tyranny and inequality, we recognize the power of collective action and the importance of using our voices to advocate for change. Our practice serves as a foundation, enabling us to cultivate resilience, compassion, and courage in the face of adversity. We believe that true wellness encompasses the health of our minds and bodies, as well as the health of our communities and the planet.
At 4 Corners Yoga Wellness, we draw upon our deepest wisdom to connect with one another, creating a network of support that fuels our activism. Each yoga session is not merely a physical challenge; it becomes a sanctuary for reflection and a springboard for mobilization. We share resources, knowledge, and inspiration, empowering each member of our community to take action, whether it’s through local initiatives, awareness campaigns, or broader movements for justice. By aligning our personal growth with our commitment to social change, we embody a holistic approach that seeks to transform not only ourselves but also the world around us.
We invite everyone to join us in this journey of transformation—where every pose is an act of defiance, every breath a call for justice, and every shared moment a step towards collective healing. Together, we can harness the energy of our practice to challenge oppressive systems, uplift marginalized voices, and pave the way for a more equitable future. 4 Corners Yoga Wellness stands as a beacon of hope and action, reminding us that our commitment to wellness and activism can lead to profound and lasting change.
Melvin Herbert King
October 20, 1928 - March 28, 2023
The most prominent activist and Black politician of Boston's 20th century, Mel King, a tireless organizer for decades, a natural leader, fought against apartheid and multiple wars, and in favor of affordable housing, good paying jobs and more. He himself was a witness and victim to a system marginalization, violence and prejudice.
"I’m not talking about that ‘melting pot’ kind of thing," King said in 1968. "I’m talking about integration at the seats of power and decision-making. Without that, the rest of what we talk about is a sham."
