“While we see anger and violence in the streets of our country, the real battlefield is inside our bodies. If we are to survive as a country, it is inside our bodies where this conflict will need to be resolved.”     – Resmaa Menakem

Are you feeling stressed, enraged, and/or overwhelmed? Do you want to make a difference but are not sure how? Are you ready to investigate your racial biases and blind spots?

Join certified Yoga Therapist Nya Patrinos in an 8-hour workshop of embodied practices, introspection, and complex conversations about race. In this offering, the applications and teachings of yoga and meditation will be used to address personal, historical, and inter-generational racism.

This workshop is open to everyone who wants to elevate themselves and fight against injustice. We all have a role to play in the alleviation of human suffering. Take a step toward creating a culture of inclusion, equality, social justice, and healing, in community. Change the world one body at a time starting with your own.
