Information
Maya, the owner and founder of Santosha School of Yoga in Warwick, Rhode Island, is a Modern Day Yogini and Teacher. After returning from India, and being fully entranced in yoga, I embraced the yogic lifestyle. I had a solid daily yoga practice and I was a successful yoga teacher. My practice of Yoga and meditation was feeding me physically and spiritually, I was conscious of my health and habits, speech, and even the company I kept. My relationship to my body, mind and spirit grew deeper; yet at the same time I was becoming aware of my growing need for meaningful exploration of my life, my work, and my truth.
One day while browsing in my favorite bookstore, I happened upon a book with a curious title, Sisters of the Yam. It was the red cover I noticed first. The cover featured a photograph of a black woman walking away from us. Her strong back sashaying in a loosely fitted white dress, her hair blowing wild and free. I instantly felt a primal connection to this woman. She appeared to be floating, yet solidly grounded there bearing a silver water pitcher in one hand, and a plastic water bottle in the other, a juxtaposition of vessels. And I was moved. She was me and every woman of color attempting to balance life.
