For yoga teachers and yoga practitioners of all levels.
Although we experience life through different cultural lenses and embrace our unique expressions of body, mind, and spirit, we are all part of one consciousness. The 2nd annual Black Yoga Teachers Alliance conference takes you on a deeply spiritual journey with the sounding of the sacred drums of Native American, African, and African-American tribes. This glorious celebration also enables you to seek and look within yourself as you explore the depth and breadth of teaching yoga to all cultures and communities. Learn from master teachers in this weekend of yoga, dancing, drumming, and chanting. The overarching objective is to lift and renew our spirits during these tumultuous times; all are welcome.
Join us and remember: We are ONE!
