The Integral Yoga Institute of New York will host the series, “Race and Equity in Yoga: Disruption As a Practice” with Kelley Palmer online from February 24, 2021 – March 5, 2021. This program will help participants get clear on their role in dismantling white supremacy and activate their Yoga practice for social justice. Start working toward the future you believe in with practical tools for self-study, dealing with uncomfortable conversations, and finding your focus. This course will show you the exact steps to move from a place of fear into a place of powerful clarity and action around social justice and Yoga.
You know a shift is necessary. Be part of the change.

- Awaken to how racism and white supremacy show up in our Yoga communities so that you can shift your perspective and work toward change

- Feel empowered to shift how you show up in wellness spaces as an activist or advocate
- Gain tools for sitting with discomfort and having difficult conversations

This course is a live, interactive, 12-hour online training to help Yoga teachers and students understand the mechanisms and impacts of systemic racism, work towards sustainable solutions, and take responsibility for dismantling white supremacy in Yoga. The program is open to Yoga teachers and students, studio owners, and anyone interested in joining a supportive learning community for gaining the tools to do anti-racist and social justice work.
