Why this Educational Event?

Why Now?

Over the past few years, the future of yoga practice & teaching has become far less certain. The closing of countless studios due to the pandemic coupled with the effects of social media have produced a radical shift in the cultural and social climate of yoga.

Changes to studio culture in the wake of social and political movements, joined with shifts in our understanding of yoga’s history, have caused an identity crisis in the modern postural yoga community. While some would lament the loss of the way things were, these changes offer opportunities for evolution, refinement, development, and the cultivation of a deeper and wiser modern yoga community.

We believe in asking questions and discovering a path forward informed by wisdom.

Throughout the summit, we will be exploring constructive perspectives on the challenges and opportunities facing yoga teachers & communities.

  • Challenge the pressure to "find your niche" as a yoga teacher. Forge a wiser path.
  • Confront with greater insight and understanding socio-political circumstances.
  • Empower yourself and others to steep in yoga's foundational wisdom and resist the negative effects of yoga's commodification.
  • Shift your understanding of yoga’s history from one of bewilderment to one of curiosity and openness.
  • Help build a future for yoga training and continuing education beyond the 200 YTT model.
  • Build bridges from yoga studies to somatics, psychotherapy, scholarship, activism, and trauma-informed perspectives.
