Through conversations, interactive sessions, embodied practices, and more, we will:

• Explore the historical and cultural roots of yoga, and the sacred traditions of South Asia.

• Bridge the gap between the origins of yoga and its contemporary expressions in the West.

• Address the importance of inclusivity, social justice, and equity within the yoga community.

• Understand how yoga can be a powerful tool for positive change and collective well-being.

• Honor the past and present as we look ahead to the future of yoga in the Western world. 

• Recognize the interconnectedness of yoga with broader social and cultural issues.

This week-long online experience offers a holistic and immersive experience and invites you to be part of a groundbreaking exploration that goes beyond the physical postures of yoga and connect with the heart and soul of this ancient practice. Together, let us honor the roots of yoga—celebrating its diversity, unity, and transformative power in the West and beyond.
