Bendingumntu othanda ukomelela ubomi bam bonke, kodwa iPilates ibisoloko iyindlela yam yokuya kuyo. Ndithathe iiklasi ezingenakubalwa kwizitudiyo zokuba sempilweni eLos Angeles kodwa ndafumanisa ukuba zininzi izinto uluntu lwasePilates olunokuphucula kuzo. Uninzi lwazo zonke, ndaziva ngathi kuninzi ukuhlazeka komzimba okwenzekayo, kwaye imeko-bume yayingamkelekanga kwaye ibandakanya njengoko kufanelekile. Ndandisazi ukuba iPilates inento yokunikela kubafazi bazo zonke iimilo ezahlukeneyo, ubukhulu, kunye nobuhlanga. Yiyo nje wayenayo ukuze abantu bafikeleleke yaye bangene lula.

Ke, ndikunye nomhlobo wam kunye nomhlohli wePilates u-Andrea Speir, ndithathe isigqibo sokuvula isitudiyo esitsha se-Pilates-apho wonke umntu ebeziva ngathi ungowakhe. Kwaye ngo-2016, uSpeir Pilates wazalwa. Kule minyaka mine idlulileyo, i-Speir Pilates ikhule yaba yenye yezitudiyo ze-Pilates zenkulumbuso e-LA. (Idibeneyo: Izinto ezi-7 ongazi malunga neePilates)

Kodwa emva koqhanqalazo nemiboniso eyenzeka kwilizwe liphela, indawo esasi studio kuyo eSanta Monica yaphangwa yaza yonakaliswa. NgolwesiHlanu emva kokubulawa kukaGeorge Floyd, mna no-Andrea safumana ividiyo komnye wabamelwane besitudiyo ebonisa indlela eyophuke ngayo iwindow yethu kunye nazo zonke izinto ezithengisayo. Ngethamsanqa, abahlaziyi bethu bePilates (izixhobo zePilates ezinkulu, nezibizayo ezisetyenziswa kwiiklasi ezisekwe kumatshini) zasinda, kodwa imeko yayimbi kakhulu.

Ukwenza uxolo nento eyenzekileyo

Nokuba ungubani na okanye unokuba zithini iimeko, xa ishishini lakho okanye ikhaya liqhekezwa ngexesha loqhanqalazo, iintlanganiso, okanye izinto ezinje, unokuziva wophulwe. Ndandingahlukanga. Kodwa njengebhinqa eliNtsundu nomama wamakhwenkwe amathathu, ndazifumana ndikwisiphambuka sendlela. Ngokuqinisekileyo, ndaziva ndiziva ndingenabulungisa. Lonke igazi, ukubila, kunye neenyembezi ezithe zangena ekudaleni nasekuxhaseni ishishini lethu, ngoku kuza kwenzeka ntoni? Kutheni thina? Kodwa kwelinye icala, bendiqonda-ndingaphantsiyima-Intlungu kunye nonxunguphalo olukhokelele kwezi zenzo zogonyamelo. Nam ndin (kwaye) ndinentliziyo ebuhlungu malunga nento eyenzekileyo kuFloyd kwaye, ngokunyanisekileyo, ndidinwe yiyo yonke iminyaka yokungabikho kokusesikweni nocalucalulo abantu bam abajamelene nazo. (Eyeleleneyo: Indlela ubuhlanga obuyichaphazela ngayo impilo yakho yengqondo)

Ukudinwa, ingqumbo, kunye nomnqweno ofanele ukuba uviwe uyinyani-kwaye, ngelishwa, ezi mvakalelo zabelanayo azikho ntsha. Kungenxa yale nto, ukuba ndakwazi ukukhawuleza ukusuka ekucingeni "kutheni thina?" ukucinga ukuba kutheni le nto yenzeka kwasekuqaleni. Imbali ibonakalisile ukuba kuncinci okwenzekayo kweli lizwe ngaphandle kwendibaniselwano yoqhanqalazo olunoxolo kunye nezidubedube. Ngokombono wam, yile nto ibangela utshintsho. Isitudiyo sethu sivele sabanjwa phakathi.

Nje ukuba ndikwazi ukuqonda imeko, ndakhawuleza ndatsalela uAndrea umnxeba. Ndisazi ukuba inokuba uthathe ngokwakhe okwenzekileyo kwisitudiyo sethu. Kumnxeba, wadlulisa indlela awayecaphuka ngayo malunga nokuphanga kwaye akazange asiqonde isizathu sokuba basijolise kunye nesitudiyo sethu. Ndamxelela ukuba ndicaphukile nam, kodwa ndiyakholelwa kuqhanqalazo, ukuphangwa, kunye nokujoliswa kwesitudiyo sethu konke kunxibelelene.

Uqhankqalazo, ndacacisa, lucwangciswe ngabom ukuba lwenzeke kwiindawo apho amatsha ntliziyo aziva ngathi ulwazi lubaluleke kakhulu. Kwangokunjalo, ukonakaliswa kwempahla ngexesha loqhanqalazo kuhlala kulungiselelwe abantu kunye noluntu abangabacinezeli kunye / okanye abanelungelo elikwaneleyo lokuba bakwazi ukungahoyi imicimbi esesandleni-kule meko, yonke into enxulumene ne-Black Lives Matter (BLM). Ngelixa iinjongo zabo zinokwahluka, abaphangi, i-IMO, bazama ukubhengeza ubukapitali, amapolisa kunye neminye imikhosi abayibonayo iqhubela phambili ubuhlanga.

Ndacacisa ukuba izinto eziphathekayo, ezinjengeiglasi ezaphukileyo kuyo yonke studio kunye nezinto ezibiweyo zinokutshintshwa. Ubomi bukaFloyd, nangona kunjalo, abukho. Umcimbi ubunzulu ngakumbi kunesenzo esilula sentshabalalo-kwaye asinakho ukuvumela ukonakaliswa kwepropathi ebonakalayo kuthathe kude nokubaluleka konobangela. UAndrea wakhawuleza wafika kwiphepha elinye, eqonda kwaye evuma ukuba kufuneka sigxile ngoba ugonyamelo lwaphenjelelwa, hayi nje isenzo sokonakalisa ngokwaso.

Kwiintsuku ezimbalwa ezizayo, mna no-Andrea saba nokuqonda okuninzi kwaye, ngamanye amaxesha, sineengxoxo ezinzima malunga nokukhokelele kuqhanqalazo kwilizwe liphela. Sixoxe ngendlela umsindo kunye nonxunguphalo olucacileyo olungabotshwanga nje kwinkohlakalo yamapolisa kunye nokubulawa kuka-Floyd, uBreonna Taylor, u-Ahmaud Arbery, nabanye abaninzi. Yayisisiqalo semfazwe nxamnye nenkqubo yobuhlanga eyayihluphe uluntu lwase-US iminyaka-inde, enyanisweni, ukuba ingene ngaphakathi. Kwaye ngenxa yokuba ilukwe ngaphakathi, kulungile, yonke into, kusondele ukuba akunakwenzeka ukuba umntu okwindawo yabaNtsundu ayiphephe. Nditsho nam, umnini weshishini kunye nesigqeba kwisebe lezomthetho kwiNetflix, kufuneka ndihlale ndilungele imingeni endinokujamelana nayo ngenxa yombala wolusu lwam.

Ukujongana Neziphumo

Xa mna noAndrea safika kwigumbi lethu lokufundela laseSanta Monica ukuza kulungisa umonakalo ngentsasa elandelayo, safumana abantu abaliqela sele ndicoca iglass eyophukileyo ecaleni kwendlela. Kungekudala emva kokuphuma kwelizwi, saqala ukufumana ukuthululwa kweefowuni kunye ne-imeyile evela kubaxhasi bethu, abamelwane, kunye nabahlobo bebuza ukuba bangasinceda njani ukubuyisela istudiyo kwimo yaso yoqobo.

Sothukile kwaye sinoxabiso kakhulu ngesisa, kodwa sobabini noAndrea sasazi ukuba asinakulwamkela uncedo. Sasisazi ukuba siza kufumana indlela yokubuyisela ishishini lethu ezinyaweni zalo, kodwa ukuxhasa injongo ekhoyo kwakubaluleke kakhulu. Endaweni yoko, siqale ukuqondisa abantu ukuba banikele, bathathe inxaxheba, kwaye kungenjalo baxhase izizathu ezinxulumene nentshukumo ye-BLM. Ngokwenza njalo, besifuna abaxhasi bethu kunye nabanini bamashishini esisebenzisana nabo baqonde ukuba umonakalo owenziwe kwipropathi, nokuba yeyiphi injongo, ayiyonto ibalulekileyo kumfanekiso omkhulu.

Emva kokubuyela ekhaya emva kokucoca, unyana wam oneminyaka emi-3 ubudala wandibuza ukuba bendiphi; Ndamxelela ukuba ndicoca iglasi emsebenzini. Xa ebuza ukuba "kutheni," ndaza ndachaza ukuba umntu wayophule, wakhawuleza waqiqa ngelithi "umntu" wayengumntu ombi. Ndamxelela ukuba akukho ndlela yokuxelela ukuba umntu okanye abantu abenze le nto "babi." Ngapha koko, ngokwenene ndandingazi ukuba ngubani owenze lo monakalo. Noko ke, into endandiyazi yayikukuba kusenokwenzeka ukuba babekhathazekile—yaye ngesizathu esivakalayo.

Ayimangalisi into yokuba ukuphangwa kunye nokonakaliswa kwamva nje kubeke abanini bamashishini emngciphekweni. Bayazi ukuba ukuba kukho uqhanqalazo kufutshane, kunokwenzeka ukuba ishishini labo lijolise kubo. Njengesilumkiso esithe xhaxha, abanye babanini beevenkile baye bahamba baya kunyuka ezivenkileni zabo besusa nezinto ezixabisekileyo. Nangona bengazi ngokuqinisekileyo ukuba ishishini labo liya kubethwa, uloyiko lusekhona. (Idibeneyo: Izixhobo zokukunceda utyhile i-Bias ecacileyo-kunye, oko kuthetha ukuba)

Ukuba ishishini lam lalisisibambiso nje kumlo wokulingana? Ndilungile ngaloo nto.

ULiz Polk

Ndiyalwazi olu loyiko. Ukukhula kwam, ndandihlala ndisiva njalo xa umntakwethu okanye utata eshiya indlu. Luloyiko olufanayo olungena ezingqondweni zoomama abaMnyama xa abantwana babo bephuma emnyango. Ayinamsebenzi nokuba besiya esikolweni okanye emsebenzini okanye baya kuthenga ipakethi yeSkittles-kukho ithuba lokuba bangaze baphinde babuye.

Njengomfazi oNtsundu kunye nomnini weshishini, ndiyayiqonda yomibini le mibono, kwaye ndiyakholelwa ukuba uloyiko lokuphulukana nomntu omthandayo luxilonga uloyiko lokuphulukana nento ebonakalayo. Ke ukuba ishishini lam belisisibambiso nje kumlo wokulingana? Ndilungile kuloo nto.

Ukujonga Phambili

Njengoko sisiya ekuvuleni kwakhona zombini iindawo zethu ze-Speir Pilates (zombini bezivaliwe ngenxa ye-COVID-19), sinethemba lokuphumeza ugxininiso oluhlaziyiweyo kwizenzo zethu, ngakumbi njengeshishini lezempilo elisebenzisana nabaNtsundu, kuluntu luphela. Sifuna ukuqhubeka sifunda kwaye sitshintshe indlela thina njengeshishini-kunye nabantu ngabanye-abanokuba negalelo kwinguqu yokwenyani yesakhiwo kwisixeko sethu nakwisizwe sethu.

Kwixesha elidlulileyo, besinikezela ngoqeqesho lwasimahla lwee-Pilates kubantu abavela kwiindawo ezinabantu abangaphantsi kokumelwa ukuze sikwazi ukusebenzela ukwahluka kwee-Pilates. Ngelixa aba bantu besuka kwimvelaphi yomdaniso okanye efanayo, injongo yethu ukuya phambili kukwandisa eli nyathelo ngabaxhasi kunye nobuhlakani obunokubakho neenkampani zomdaniso. Ngale ndlela sinakho (ngethemba!) Ukukhonza abantu abaninzi kwaye senze inkqubo ifikeleleke ngakumbi. Sikwasebenza ekufumaneni iindlela apho sinokuxhasa khona iinzame ze-BLM mihla le zokuthatha inxaxheba ngokukuko ekulweleni injongo.

Kubanini bamashishini endisebenza nabo abajonge ukwenza okufanayo, yazini ukuba yonke into encinci ibalulekile. Ngamanye amaxesha umbono "wotshintsho kulwakhiwo" kunye "nokuphelisa ubuhlanga", unokuziva ungenakoyiswa. Kuvakala ngathi ngekhe uyibone ebomini bakho. Kodwa nantoni na oyenzayo, enkulu okanye encinci, inefuthe kumcimbi. (Idibeneyo: Iqela laseMelika i-Swimmers liKhokela ukuSebenza, ii-Q kunye nee-A, kunye nokuninzi ukuze kuXhamle iMicimbi yoBomi obuMnyama)

Izenzo ezilula ezifana nokwenza amalizo nokubalwa kwamavolontiya. Kwinqanaba elikhulu, unokubacingela ngakumbi abantu okhetha ukubaqesha. Ungasebenzela ekwenzeni imeko yomsebenzi ebandakanya ngakumbi okanye uqiniseke ukuba iqela labantu elahlukileyo linakho ukufikelela kwishishini lakho kunye neminikelo. Ilizwi lomntu ngamnye lifanele ukuviwa. Kwaye ukuba asivumeli indawo yaloo nto, utshintsho alunakwenzeka.

Ngandlela thile, eli xesha lide lokuvala ngenxa yesifo esinganyangekiyo se-coronavirus (i-COVID-19) esidityaniswe namandla akutshanje ajikeleze uqhankqalazo lwe-BLM, inike bonke abanini bamashishini igumbi lokuvula kwakhona kugxilwe ngokutsha kwizenzo zethu njengoluntu. Into ekufuneka uyenzile kukuthatha inyathelo lokuqala.
