MUSTAFA SANTIAGO ALI
Mustafa Santiago Ali on Healing America Through Social Justice
by Sandra Yeyati
Mustafa Santiago Ali has dedicated his career to fighting for environmental justice, public health, resource equity and political empowerment to uplift the most vulnerable communities in America. For 24 years, he served at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and is currently vice president of environmental justice, climate and community revitalization for the National Wildlife Federation. He is a renowned public speaker and has appeared on MSNBC, CNN, VICE TV, Black Entertainment Television, Democracy Now! and other networks.
Does the Black Lives Matter movement feel different than other moments in our history?
Yes. This is a transformational moment. So many different types of folks are coming together in large numbers, not just in our country, but across the planet, saying that change has to happen and we have to eliminate systemic racism and discrimination. They want the 21st century to look like the 21st century, and not something from the 1950s or the 1940s or even the 1960s.
How can we keep the momentum going?
By bringing all kinds of different folks together, building authentic coalitions that are rooted in change, harvesting the energy of this moment and making sure that the right types of legislation—whether at the federal, state, county or local level—are reflective of what people are asking for. Then we focus on getting engaged in the civic process—voting. Dr. King said, “I cannot pass legislation to make you love me, but I can pass legislation to stop you from lynching me.” When we fast forward that to today, we can pass legislation that addresses social ills, disparities and other egregious types of behaviors. We can also make sure that our organizations are representative of what America looks like—in our hiring practices and on our boards—and make sure that our philanthropic organizations are moving in the right direction where they are helping to fund and support folks who are doing this transformative work. It really is a holistic set of actions.
How do you remain hopeful in light of America’s turbulent history?
I see many artists and entertainers who are getting engaged in an effective way, and they have the ability to reach so many
A positive approach to life and fitness. A community built on trust and camaraderie. A committment to you and your growth.

folks. Even more critical are the thousands upon thousands of incredible young leaders who are pushing, willing to put their bodies on the line, creating their own organizations and investing their time to make real change happen.
I see people at the local and state level changing laws that have been entrenched for decades. I see organizations that would not normally see themselves in these types of conversations or actions saying, “You are right. I apologize for not being here sooner, but we’re going to do everything we can now to stand in solidarity with this change that’s happening.” My hope is anchored in the fact that people are already doing the work and we’re seeing fruits from the seeds that people planted sometimes hundreds of years ago, but definitely decades ago.
What kind of justice are you fighting for?
We’re fighting for housing, transportation, economic and public health justice, and of course, the environment.
Which vulnerable communi- ties are you fighting for?
I fight for communities of color. I fight for lower-wealth white communities. I fight for indigenous brothers and sisters. And I fight for the planet. I know that disproportionately, these are the communities that are often unseen and unheard, and I know if we can give voice to those communities, then it will benefit everyone. Social justice gives us the opportunity to make America whole—to be stronger and better, as we become anchored in real justice. We have to be focused on moving our most vulnerable communities from surviving to thriving.
What is your contribution to the National Wildlife Federation?
I sat down with President Collin O’Mara to have real conversations about what a 21st-century organization and their 6 million members would look like. I thought that if I could get 10 or 20 percent of those members to embrace environmental justice and to stand in solidarity with folks, then that could help the movement and make real change happen. The National Wildlife Federation board has just approved a full environmental justice analysis of all of its programs, policies, activities and budgeting decisions. No other organization in our country does that, and it sends a clear message to all the other organizations that are out there that these are the types of things you have to do to be a 21st-century organization.

Yoga Corner
Often one comes to a yoga class for the physical aspects—to stretch, sweat or become more flexible. However, what is not commonly discussed are the five koshas (sheaths or layers) of the human being. An awareness of these subtle energies within our bodies can bring any physical yoga practice beyond the mat. When I was in training 15 years ago, this concept resonated with me so much that I incorporated an awareness of these concepts in every asana practice.
For a body to be whole and healthy, it is necessary for the five koshas to be in harmony with one another. When the body is in disharmony dis-ease occurs, therefore I believe it is essential to introduce and experience each kosha individually and collectively in a yoga program. As B.K.S. Iyengar discusses in Light on Life, true health requires not only effective functioning of the physical exterior of our being, but also the vitality, strength, and sensitivity of the subtle levels within.
Annamayakosha
The outermost layer is annamayakosha (physical body). In yoga asana class, the various shapes the body is put into directly affect the physical body. It is important for the physical body to be strong yet flexible all the while creating open channels of energy to support our skeletal system, nervous system and internal organs.
The Koshas
by Nicole Zornitzer
Pranamayakosha
The second layer is pranamayakosha (energy body). This is directly related to breath. An awareness of each inhalation and each exhalation and the breath’s power to directly affect our physical body is essential when practicing yoga. Our breathing is just as important as our movement and all will experience the maximum benefit of their yoga practice by manipulating the breath properly.
Manomayakosha
The third layer is manomayakosha (mind). Learn to withdraw the senses and allow thoughts to come and go without forming attachment. In a mindful manner, acknowledge a thought but then release that thought and remain centered in yoga practice allows for the opportunity to “just be”.
Vijnanamayakosha
The fourth layer is vijnanamayakosha (wisdom self; third eye). This involves focused awareness on the space between the eyebrows to become the witness to the physical body and the mind. As one separates the ego from the self, one finds the ability to become the witness to all that is. Here there is no judgement, we are cultivating kindness towards our bodies and all that exists.
Anandamayakosha
The final layer is anandamayakosha (bliss body). This is the most difficult to explain or achieve as it is absolute peace. It is important to keep expectations reasonable so start with becoming aware of the smallest of moments where bliss may occur. The ultimate goal of yoga is to find this comfortable “seat” and rest, truly rest and be at ease.
The definition of yoga is the yolk together the union of mind, body and spirit. The five koshas of the body are the foundation to creating this harmony of self.
