Yoga in Healthcare Meet-Up

At Yoga Alliance, we believe in the power of connection and community. Member Meet-Ups bring together yoga professionals from around the world into one virtual space to engage in meaningful conversations, share knowledge, and strengthen their network.

Interested in learning more about bringing yoga into healthcare settings? Join this collaborative conversation with the YogaX team from Stanford Psychiatry to discuss the differences between providing yoga in a studio setting compared to healthcare settings. In this member meet-up, we will utilize breakout rooms to engage in small group conversations about yoga in healthcare.

To ensure that everyone has an opportunity to actively participate, registration will be limited. This way, we can maintain an engaging and inclusive environment for all attendees.

YogaX and Yoga Alliance invite all US-based yoga professionals to participate in a research survey on integrating Yoga into Healthcare: http://cloud.email.yogaalliance.org/yogax.

Community Class | CONFIDANCE

According to vulnerability researcher Brené Brown, "there is no form of self-expression that makes us feel more vulnerable than dancing. It is full body vulnerability”. In an art form that requires us to be seen, not only by ourselves but by others, in our own bodies, it's no wonder most of us don't feel confident when we move.

Join us for an inspiring yoga practice to celebrate AAPI Month! Designed and led by Lauren DeVera (she/her), this movement and introspective workshop will guide attendees in taking up space, being seen, and moving with confidence. Integrating a slow flow, improvisation and journaling, attendees will experience a deeper sense of self, safety in one's body and confidence to explore our edges.

When we all take up space fully, the world becomes a brighter place.

This event will be moderated by Stephon JB, Founder & CEO, LifeWell. This class is open to everyone.

You can learn more about Lauren DeVera at www.lauren-devera.com.

Items to bring: yoga mat, journal and pen

Info Session | Join Yoga Alliance’s Boards of Directors

We believe that if more people practice yoga, the better the world will be. Yoga Alliance has released its 2024-2030 Strategic Plan and we are now looking for individuals to join Yoga Alliance and Yoga Alliance Foundation’s Boards of Directors. In this info session, you will learn what it means to serve on the Boards of Directors, roles and responsibilities, details about the application process, and more.

This event is moderated by Kevin James Karas, Board Governance Manager at Yoga Alliance.

Community Class | Our Presence Has Purpose

Celebrate Disability Pride Month and join our online seated adaptive and accessible yoga class. This event is Adaptive which means it will allow you to adapt all the movements to your own wonderful and unique body, and Accessible because it’s open to the entire community -- disabled and non-disabled folks alike. Disability both diminishes and magnifies, and we will wholeheartedly celebrate the diversity of the human experience. You'll be invited to inhabit your body gently and kindly through breath, movement, music, awareness, and meditation—a genuinely nourishing, intimate, embodied experience with your Self.

Props: If you do not use a wheelchair to travel the World, we kindly ask you to show up with a sturdy chair and a few props.

“Freedom from & Freedom to” Flow

The word freedom comes from the English word FRĒODŌM , a state of emancipation, liberty, or free will. This word is composed of: free or “FRĒO,” indicating an exemption from something and “DŌM” is a suffix in Old English indicating judgement or condemnation.

Designed and led by Nana Amoako-Anin, this practice carves out space for us to explore FREE-dom. Freedom from elements of life that are blocking our progress. Offering us space to experience joy.

Going deep into movements for the FREE-body, this vinyasa flow class is a mix of heart-openers and grounding poses. This practice will begin with contemplation and reflection about what freedom means to each of us. We will ponder how our self-beliefs may prevent progress. The practice will encourage openness and release.

The class will end with a brief question and answer session led by Rodrigo Souza (he/him), Adaptive & Accessible Yoga Teacher and founder of Allihopa Yoga.
