Racquel Minh of Kanuka Yoga is a trauma-informed yoga teacher and relationship anarchist. We recorded this conversation at Splore (inside the van!) which was heaps of fun.
We explored something that Raquel is passionate about which is ‘Using yoga philosophy to inform her relationship structure’.
- Using yoga philosophy (the ‘Yamas’ translated as moral discipline) in the process of exploring non-monogamy. Truth and non-harming being two specific Yamas that we talk about.
- We dive into Racquel’s experience with many caregivers growing up which explains the fact that we feels safe and secure with multiple partners.
- Moving into polyamory with her monogamous partner was a massive risk but it was important for Raquel to step into her truth.
- Having a safe and secure relationship enables someone to feel safe enough to explore what their truth is, no mater what that is.
- We talk about making monogamy a choice, not something you’re trapped in. The idea of conscious monogamy.
- Between two jobs and two partners, it’s hard to make time for herself (without being polygamous we can all relate to that!). She loves walking and snuggling with her dog Chica as a way to shake off the day.
- Racquel creates a safe space and holds space for people to allow them to be vulnerable.
- How communication is the most important thing in a relationship - no matter what structure it is.
