Yoga for the Common Good

This training explores yoga on and off the mat through four integrative lenses—Off the Mat Yoga, Trauma-Informed Yoga, Social Justice Yoga, and Holistic Yoga Practices—to awaken individual and collective liberation. It’s a journey toward a more authentic yoga experience that builds resilience, empathy, and connection.

Key Features Include:

Yoga is Connection – Learn about the roots of yoga and how it relates to personal and communal growth. Change within and without – it’s all connected.

Six Conversations – Community-building exchanges that are pointedly designed to bring the spirit of yoga off the mat and into relationships. Conversation themes include: Invitation, Possibility, Ownership, Dissent, Commitment, and Gifts.

Slow Down – No more glorification of “being busy.” Engage in practices to slow down and calm your body as resistance to the fast-paced, competitive, take at the expense of others mentality. 

Decolonize Yoga – Learn ways you may begin to decolonize (or deepen) your yoga practice and enjoy it in a more authentic and liberatory way.  Explore themes related to accessibility, connectivity, domestication, and social justice.

Let Go and Be Open to an Alternative Future – Understand how your “story” holds you back from moving forward.  Engage in practices that assist with the process of letting go and creating a path forward. 

Gifts and Passions – Connect with your authentic self.  Identify your gifts and passions with accountability to bring them into the world.
