Includes a short Yoga Nidra Practice.We’re so excited to have Yoga and Meditation teacher AND new DEN teacher, DeAndre Sinette, with us this week on DENtalks Podcast! We get to know all sides of DeAndre in this episode as he vulnerably shares with us about his abusive upbringing and his lifelong struggle with suicidal depression. A southern boy at heart, DeAndre recently moved to Los Angeles and found himself living in a co-living space in Venice. We discuss what it was like to live in a conscious co-living space, the perceived expectations of what moving to LA would be like, how being a creative kid shaped him, how he has turned to music and mushrooms to help him heal his depression, how meditation and yoga have turned into a safe haven for him, and how for a long time he was rejecting his DNA as a black man and instead tried to fit in with the white community he was raised in. He shares how he sees that the systems in our country have programmed self hate into black communities and we must not stay neutral if we want real change to happen. Stick around for DeAndre’s short Yoga Nidra practice at the end of the episode.If you’d like to go deeper with DeAndre, he is hosting a Yoga Nidra for Grounding workshop with us on DENanywhere.com on August 8th!
