On January 30, 2025, my heart called me to utilize my Yoga Teacher Training to provide a safe space for physical and emotional regulation through breath and bodywork. Our physical and digital worlds are volatile places at this moment in time, and I wanted to help in a productive way that could benefit any person seeking relief; regardless of their political affiliations. I created a 3 minute grounding yoga practice that encourages nervous system regulation.

Instagram denied my ability to publish the video, claiming “Something went wrong. Try again later.” After multiple attempts to republish, it was continually sent to my drafts. I believe that the Reel is being blocked due to some of the keywords in my description. This is the description intended to be shown with the Reel:

I do not care how many views this gets. I do not care how many likes or comments occur after I post this.

I hope that this content finds the people it was meant to find, and I hope that taking 3 minutes for self care is beneficial for you. 

Yoga is something that has brought me great presence of mind and has expanded my perceptions of human experience. If nothing else, I hope that this video is a moment of peace for you, in a place that feels so unstable and chaotic. 

With that being said, creating content is not where my heart is. It never has been. Let’s face it, I’m hilarious and I have a lot of experience and value to share in a few areas of expertise. 

But grinding myself into the ground to create something “algorithm worthy” is not a sustainable use of my energy. 

My worth is not determined by an algorithm, and I don’t want to be a part of something that actively censors vital information for women, LGBTQIA+, Black, Indigenous, AAPI, Latinx, and disabled people, all in the name of supporting capitalism for egotistically fragile white men who prefer violence to compassion.

That last sentence might censor this reel. I don’t know. It’s Bizarro world right now. I’m willing to take that chance, because I value individual autonomy over fear based propaganda. 

I don’t know if it will all be okay. I don’t have that ability. But I do have the ability to make art and to support communities that align with my core values of empathy, compassion, love, and honesty. 

If you enjoy following my work, I highly recommend subscribing to my newsletter, because sharing my art on this platform no longer serves me and is a waste of my most precious commodity: my energy. 

And yes, I know, Jesus H. Christ, not another newsletter. I get it. But I can tell you this: I am NOT going to be emailing you on a regular basis. You will be lucky to get an email from me monthly; or even quarterly. Because I have better shit to do than create content, remember?

What you will get is my email address, where we can stay in touch off of social media. I hope to see you there. Link in Bio. ♥️

Instagram is still giving me a notification of “Something went wrong. Try again later.”

I have since tried to republish the Reel and the description 3 times at various times per day, and into the next day. The Reel is still being pushed to my Drafts, with the notification of “Something went wrong. Try again later.”

So that is the story of this grounding practice! I hope that it is helpful to anyone who finds it. Regardless of where you are or who you are, I hope that you find peace, breath, and calm.

With Gratitude,

Megan
