The times require our courageous, active engagement in social change - we must move beyond talk toward inspired action, especially among the yoga community and others who seek to alleviate suffering in the world. Together we’ll explore the role of one's yoga practice in matters of social justice, racial equality and personal dharma through conversation and slow flow/deep stretch practice designed to elevate our peaceful resting state.

Are you a yoga teacher who’s reckoning with racial unrest and feeling stuck…stuck doing the same poses, chants, and meditations but unable to show up in the current racial climate in a way that feels authentic to you? Do you wish to “be the change” but have no idea where to start, how to start, or even if you really want to start? Do you flounder between “just focusing on the yoga” and feeling guilty because you’re unsure how to address issues of racial justice in your yoga space? Do you just want to understand the relationship between yoga and racial equity once and for all? Are you ready to do the hard work? This training series will meet five Thursday evenings, October 29 – December 3 (no class on Thanksgiving).
