Thanks, Teri. It doesn't rhyme with AJ. The A sounds in Āshā are pronounced like 'aahh'. I wondered if my description was clear enough, I might go back and edit. Thanks for the comment and restack!
Beautiful, evocative writing. As a white woman studying yoga and decolonization I’m moved and honored to gain this understanding. I have loved learning Sanskrit words and mantras. I’m grateful and humbled by the reminder to not take what is not mine, rather seek to observe and honor.
I love the way you shared about the music waking up something you didn’t realize you had lost.
So Asha rhymes with AJ?
Beautifully said.
