We know that when we practice yoga, it has a positive ripple effect on the world around us. But in moments of injustice, we cannot rely on this as a way to change the world.

Azadeh sees both worlds as an Iranian woman and owner of yoga studios. She expresses how it's now more important than ever to ensure we speak of this oppression so that the world can awaken to the truth of Iran's reality.

We may turn to yoga for peace but Azadeh reminds us, anger is okay too. It's within our practice of meditation to accept all feelings; to be angry at the current situation is our right.

For women around the entire world, we need to resist bypassing and instead be heard.

We're being invited to observe whatever freedom we each have right now and take the steps to pass it on to our sisters in Iran. If we want peace, we must take action.
