[vc_row full_width=”stretch_row”][vc_column][vc_column_text]Seattle Yoga News is on a mission to find and highlight all of the hidden, and maybe not so hidden, gems in our yoga community and beyond. We want you to learn about their experiences and perspectives, but also a bit more about their personalities, so we have a few fun questions for them. This week’s spotlight is turned towards Terilyn Wyre.

Terilyn Wyre:

I have spent many years as a massage therapist exploring the body, many years as a priestess exploring the spirit and different forms of prayer and have always been an admirer of dance and the way the body moves. Yoga to me feels like a combination of all these great passions of mine. My practice has always been the times I felt most alive and in love with the moment. My critical voice was silenced and I loved the way my body felt. I was called to teach and share my experience with others and to be an example that every body is beautiful and should be honored for its strength, resilience and utter amazingness.

Terilyn Wyre:

If you want to truly start a revolution, forgive yourself and really love yourself and teach that to your kids. If we can forgive and love ourselves, we can then truly forgive and love others. If we all focus on forgiveness and love and the power dynamic of the world will shift dramatically.

Terilyn Wyre:

I believe in the sacred and the profane. I am irreverent in my reverence for this wild life. I am a true Bhakti and Tantric yogini in that I am foul mouthed and open hearted. I believe in equality and love and truth seeking. I believe we are all teachers and there is no better guru than the one inside you. We are sacred mirrors to each other. I believe mythology and storytelling is a wonderful way to connect to each other and understand our most shiny selves as well as our shadows. I believe we never stop learning.

Martin Luther King Jr and Bernie Sanders because they are my two heroes fighting for justice and equality. They are both powerful voices for the voiceless and they both embody my patron goddess Durga.

Terilyn Wyre:

I have never been very political until this year and the community coming together to support Bernie Sanders for president has been absolutely life changing for me. I believe we are witnessing the rise of the divine feminine with great value for the earth, environment and all of the people. I am so excited and impressed how his campaign has brought the young and old together in the fight to end oppression and bring the power back to the all encompassing power of LOVE.
