“After the hardest Buti yoga class I think I’ve ever had, I lay in savasana and hear “Rise Up” by Andra Day start. admittedly the first thought I had was that the song was a bit too intense for a savasana. But as I listened to Natasha’s words, I could feel the power of the song. Once she came around with the cold lavender towel and placed it over my eyes, I ignored the impulse to move it to my forehead. As the song continued, I felt like a haze had been lifted and I saw myself clearly again. And I cried on the gym floor, surrounded by powerful women.”
