So, what's this course all about anyway?

This course is your opportunity to do the work in showing up for others as you put yoga in action! Begin your journey of understanding cultural appropriation, learn how to be a better ally, and honor yoga's roots on a deeper level with this powerful online course.

Completely self-paced, this course will allow you to take your yoga practice to the next level and become a true advocate for equality, diversity, accessibility, and inclusivity.

Are you a yoga student or teacher that has felt hopeless, overwhelmed, lost, or discouraged in regards to how you can be a better ally in the yoga world and beyond?

Have you been wanting to properly honor and embrace the cultural roots of the yoga practice beyond just the physical asana practice, but lack direction on how to actually do that?

Do you want to positively contribute to repairing the damages caused by systemic injustice, colonization, and discrimination, but don’t know where to start?

Coming from a place of compassion, empathy, and understanding, our Yoga Girl® guide, Susanna Barkataki, will lead you through a beautiful journey of exploration, inquiry, and reflection to help you deepen your understanding of yoga beyond the mat, and fully embody the practice in ways that not just benefit yourself, but others as well.

"My hope is that when we explore like this, we open our hearts to one another, to new perspectives and to seeing the world in a new way. To building bridges for unity. This exploration takes the kind of courage that leads to deeper understanding and an open heart." - Susanna Barkataki

This course is for you if you:

  • Are looking for ways to live yoga “off the mat” and beyond the physical asana practice while putting yogic philosophy, principles, and ethics in action so you can create a life where you feel more whole and connected to yourself, the world, and the people around you.

  • Want to honor the roots of yoga without culturally appropriating and learn how to use your yoga practice as a means of lessening harm locally and globally.

  • Want to deepen your understanding of the Yamas and Niyamas (yoga philosophy/ethics and morals) and learn ways to embody yogic values in your daily life.

  • Want to feel confident in holding space for uncomfortable or challenging, but important, conversations, not only in daily life, but also in relation to yoga and social justice.

  • Want a better understanding of power dynamics, forms of oppression, and privileges that show up both on and off the mat.

  • Want to understand the different types of trauma and how healing can place within oppressive systems using yoga.

  • Are ready to explore your own personal roles and identities in a way that can help make yoga and society more equitable for all.
