In our current moment, all of us are being called to deepen our understanding of what it means to be a yoga practitioner.
Join us for our second topic, a Listening/Learning Circle dedicated to access and inclusion, moderated by global diversity and leadership consultant Betsy Silva, featuring Iyengar Yoga community members speaking about their own experience. Smaller facilitated breakout sessions, led by trained facilitators, will give participants an opportunity to practice svadhyaya (self-study) in discussing our own personal challenges in practicing inclusivity. We will discuss steps to make Iyengar yoga more widely accessible and to support and give BIPOC, LGBTQIA, and underrepresented practitioners a stronger voice in the Iyengar community.
This series of facilitated discussions and presentations, offered throughout 2020-21 by the IYNAUS DEIJ Committee, aims to help us understand race equity and inclusivity as it relates to one’s personal yoga practice and in teaching yoga.
This series is open to all and offered at no cost to participants. Donations to support this work are welcome!
