Michelle C. Johnson: From Activated to Activist

She has published two books: Skill in Action: Radicalizing Your Yoga Practice to Create a Just World and Finding Refuge: Heart Work for Healing Collective Grief.  You can check out her Tedx talk called There is No Neutral, her podcast called Finding Refuge and her website at michellecjohnson.com.
