#188: Yoga and War: Hala Okeili on Holding Space for Peace in Lebanon's Crisis


Listen Later

As Lebanon endures yet another wave of conflict, Hala speaks candidly about the heartbreak of leaving her homeland to protect her young son while holding fast to her role as a guide and healer for her community. Her journey reminds us that yoga is a practice far beyond the mat – it's a call to connect, to serve, and to hold space even in the most difficult of times.

In this conversation, Hala opens a window into the life of Lebanon's vibrant, yet fragile, yoga community. She describes the ongoing work of providing meals, essentials, and a compassionate presence for displaced families, emphasizing that real change often begins in taking care of one another.

As we listen, Hala's story invites us to consider our own role in cultivating peace – both within and beyond. This is a powerful reminder of the resilience, compassion, and unwavering hope that yoga can inspire, no matter the circumstances.
