We are cultivating a **public commons of experiential yogic knowledge** to empower collective well-being, deepen somatic literacy, and make yoga accessible to all humans — regardless of background, geography, or social class.\n\nOur project bridges the **ancient roots of yoga** with **modern decentralized tools** to foster community-led learning, open-source rituals, and cultural exchanges. We treat yoga as a **public good** — freely available, communally enriched, and anchored in shared liberation.\n\n---\n\n## 🔑 Key Deliverables\n\n- ✨ **Dragon Breath Protocol**: Free breathwork system to unlock full respiratory and energetic potential.  \n- 📚 **Open-Source Ritual & Movement Library**: Practices from intuitive movement, yogic lineages, and ancestral breath.  \n- 📍 **Decentralized Practice Circle Map**: Visualizing local hubs via [Utopia Maps](https://github.com/utopia-os).  \n- ✏️ **Onchain Practice Journals**: Collective learning documentation and practice analytics.  \n- 📅 **Virtual Breath Temples**: Online/Metaverse gatherings for community embodiment.  \n- 🏛️ **DAO Governance & Token Recognition**: Contribution-based co-creation and resource allocation.  \n\n━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━  \n🧬 **EXPERIENTIAL SCIENCE MEETS ANCESTRAL RITUAL**  \n━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━\n\n## 🔬 Alignment with DeSci Values\n\n**Tribal Yoga Commons** represents _\"experiential somatic science.\"_  \nOur work blends embodied research with decentralized governance and open-access learning. We document breath protocols, track wellness impact, and create digital archives of community-led healing wisdom.\n\n- ✅ **Yoga as Open Science**: Open-source protocols, transparent journals, and educational content.  \n- ✅ **Breath & Movement Impact Research**: Community wellness metrics and decentralized data logs.  \n- ✅ **Inclusive Accessibility**: Non-commercial, decentralized access to wellbeing tools.  \n\n---\n\n## 🌍 What We’ve Done So Far\n\nWe've hosted **practice events, yoga circles, breath workshops, and community rituals across Europe** — in Germany, Austria, Portugal, and Switzerland.  \nWe’ve initiated **livestream sessions**, built prototype **movement libraries**, and collaborated with **grassroots communities**.\n\nOur work is nourished by exchanges with **traditional yogis, sadhus in India**, and **indigenous teachers** like the **Huni Kuin** and **Noke Koi**.  \nOur intention is not to extract traditions but to co-create a **respectful commons** of ancestral knowledge and embodied research.\n\n---\n\n## 📚 Educational Philosophy\n\nYoga is a **comprehensive form of education**, integrating body awareness, emotional intelligence, and social coherence. It functions as a tool for:\n\n- 🧠 **Somatic Education**: Enhancing proprioception, interoception, and embodied cognition through structured movement and breath.  \n- 🌬 **Emotional Regulation**: Activating parasympathetic response via breathwork and meditation, aiding in stress reduction and resilience building.  \n- 💞 **Community Healing**: Creating shared spaces of practice that foster connection, mutual care, and collective well-being.  \n\nOur framework incorporates the classical structure of **Yoga**, as outlined by the sage Patanjali in the *Yoga Sutras*:\n\n```markdown\n       🔺 Samadhi  \n      🧘‍♂️ Dhyana  \n     🎯 Dharana  \n    👁 Pratyahara  \n   🌬 Pranayama  \n  🧍 Asana  \n 💖 Niyama  \n🤝 Yama\n```\n\nThese eight limbs are integrated as **design principles** across our platform — from content ethics and practice design to governance frameworks and community engagement.  \nWe approach them not as rigid rules but as **living, decolonized, community-owned principles**, adaptable to diverse cultural contexts.\n\n> 🕊️ **Tribal Breath Code 001:**  \n> _Breathe in to remember. Breathe out to release._  \n> _No app. No gate. No guru. Just presence._\n\n---\n\n## 💸 Use of Funds\n\n- ✅ Develop DAO and **Breath2Earn** architecture  \n- ✅ Expand **open-source library** and digital practice journal tools  \n- ✅ Create **visual documentation**, workshops, and impact data  \n- ✅ Support **community events** and livestream infrastructure  \n- ✅ Fund **ethical collaborations with indigenous knowledge holders**  \n\n---\n\n## 🤝 Why Gitcoin?\n\n**Gitcoin** represents the next evolution of public goods funding — a match made in dharma.  \nOur decentralized yoga commons seeks **regenerative financing**, **transparent governance**, and **collective value flow**.\n\n> DAO + Dharma = **Tribal Yoga Commons**  \n> A blockchain-aligned embodiment field — for open-source breath, ritual, and liberation.\n\n---\n\n## 🌬️ Support Us. Breathe With Us. Build the Commons.\n\n- 🌐 Website: [tribalyoga.gumroad.com](https://tribalyoga.gumroad.com)  \n- 🎥 Video: [Watch on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xy03NMYGXQM)\n\n━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━  \n🙏 **Closing Blessing**  \n━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━\n\n> _May each breath be a liberation._  \n> _May each movement be a remembering._  \n> _May this work ripple as a gift to all beings._\n\n— **Tribal Yoga Commons**\n\n", "logoImgData": {}, "bannerImgData": {}}
