The Pleasure of Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging

Most people think they can only be a yoga practitioner once their physical yoga practice reaches a certain level. But there are many ways to practice and teach yoga. And there are many aspects of yoga that are essential to the authentic practice of this ancient tradition.

Together we let go of thinking there’s any way a yoga teacher “should” look or what they “should” be able to do. Instead, we listen to your heart and real-ass body my friend. Join us for a courageous real and vulnerable convos to transform your perspective and practice. Yoga is for everybody – don’t let anybody convince or tell you differently or deny you of the intimate pleasure of your practice.
