Glad to share that my series of 9 paintings titled Colonialism and the Climate Crisis is now a virtual exhibition on the ICAAD (International Center for Advocates Against Discrimination) website. Physical exhibition later this year in NYC, until then I hope you’ll make time to take in the art and the accompanying stories behind each work that have been showcased so beautifully in this virtual exhibit. It’s a dark subject in many ways, as you might agree, and researching for this series tested my understanding of the world at every step. And as any artist can tell you, art can take you to some ..read more

Art exhibition on Colonialism and the Climate Crisis
Radically Ever After
by Namita Kulkarni
1y ago
Pleased to announce the launch of my art exhibition “Colonialism and the Climate Crisis” at Bangalore Creative Circus. This series was made possible by a grant from a human rights organisation ICAAD (International Center for Advocates against Discrimination) based in New York. With this series of 8 paintings, the aim is to make explicit the link between colonialism and the climate crisis. Often framed as simply a matter of reducing carbon emissions, the climate crisis is a result of colonialism, both historical and ongoing. The domination-based, extractive, consumption-centred way of life that ..read more

Meditating in Watercolor

I hope you’ve been well. It’s been a while since I wrote here. Thought I’d share a little of what I’ve been upto and what’s been nourishing me in the last few months. I’ve been working on an art project I won a grant for back in December (yayyy!) thanks to ICAAD (International Center for Advocates Against Discrimination), a human rights advocacy center based in New York. The subject I decided on for this project has to do with colonialism being the driving force of the climate crisis, and how indigenous wisdom can bring us back to our role as a custodial species on the planet. Here are more de ..read more

Be the Flow

Be the Flow, watercolor on paper Someone asked me to send them a yoga sequence for them to practice on their own, and I might have gotten a little carried away. After 12 years of teaching, I still find it a bit strange to plan a sequence for someone else. Your body knows the practice you need better than all the books and the most experienced teachers on the planet. Finding a yoga practice that feels right to you is a lot like finding your new favorite song. You probably weren’t out looking for it, but it hits the spot and meets you exactly where you are at this particular moment. It has you ..read more

New Yoga Workshop on Sept 12, 2021: The Magic & Science of Ujjayi Breath
Radically Ever After
by Namita Kulkarni
2y ago
Join me for this 2-hour online workshop on Sunday, September 12 – The Magic and Science of Ujjayi breath. If you’ve ever been in my classes, you’ve likely heard me say that if there was one Yoga technique I could teach everyone everywhere, it would be Ujjayi breath. As you might know if you’re into Yoga, Ujjayi breath is a powerful breathing technique that stimulates the vagus nerve, which has a key role in the parasympathetic nervous system – the rest & restore department. If you’d like to read more about this, I have an entire blogpost dedicated to it: Ujjayi Breath – For The Win Here’s ..read more

One Tractor Away from Self-sustainability: How 243 Disabled Kids are Running a Farm in Rajasthan
Radically Ever After
by Namita Kulkarni
2y ago
How 243 disabled kids went from being homeless in lockdown to self-sustained and thriving. And how you can help.  The real work of planet-saving will be small, humble, and humbling, and (insofar as it involves love) pleasing and rewarding. Its jobs will be too many to count, too many to report, too many to be publicly noticed or rewarded, too small to make anyone rich or famous – Wendell Berry, farmer/author.  Most of us have felt the intense emotional, financial and psychological toll of the pandemic by now. Depending on our particular combination of luck, privilege and resources ..read more

Yoga for all the Wrong Reasons
Radically Ever After
by Namita Kulkarni
3y ago
  Isn’t it interesting how our relationship with our Yoga practice changes over the years? The way our reasons for showing up to our practice can be so different from just a few years ago. I was writing a whole other blogpost about ways to slip into meditation when this poem flew out instead. I’ll get to that blogpost soon, meanwhile I hope you find some wonderfully “wrong” reasons in these lines. Wrong because they’re everything the patriarchal gurus, the yoga/wellness industry and the capitalist grind culture wouldn’t want you to look at. I hope that’s incentive enough ?    I ..read more

Not to alarm you, but these words from the heretical Gospel of Thomas are an evergreen PSA: If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you. A whole sermon on the necessity of creativity, if you ask me.  Join me in an interactive Yoga for Creativity workshop on January 17, 2021, with Wild Ginger Herbal Center, where we will explore the many ways creativity and Yoga intersect and how they fuel each other. How we can let the practice be an exploration of creativity instea ..read more

Funny Conversations on the Road
Radically Ever After
by Namita Kulkarni
3y ago
The thing I miss most about travel is the assortment of human interactions it throws at us. The sheer randomness of who you meet where and the things you say to each other that neither could’ve predicted. Conversations powered by travel-stoked curiosity instead of regular-life posturing where we cling to our ideas of who we are. A stark contrast to these times when interactions are mostly planned and online, scheduled and/or strategically avoided.  So much of the delicious mystery of god-knows-who-you’ll-meet-how-today has been wiped away by well-meaning sanitizers and human cautiousness ..read more
