Yoga:
Inclusivity

& Liberation

Building a liberatory and inclusive yoga community.

Incorporating a social justice lens to your yoga practice, spaces and teaching

"I deeply appreciate Nat and Danya's dedication to sharing perspectives that challenge our patterns and opens up inquiry of what we can do to be better human beings. To me this is yoga.  I believe our teachers who participate in this training and begin their own inquiry into how they want to be are much better prepared to act with clarity and authenticity when confronting issues, and are more able to create loving community and space around them.  Thank you Danya and Nat for working with us."

Testimonial - Yoga Teacher Training -  Ryan, Soul of Yoga

Course Description

Join Justice Movement founders Nat and Danya as we do a deep dive into your yoga practice and teaching.  We will start by unpacking your positionality and its impacts on your teaching.  We all have gaps in knowledge and understanding. What are we missing? Who are we unintentionally keeping from the practice? What do we gain when we unpack our privilege, and what do we stand to lose if we remain oblivious? Nat and Danya have a combined 25 years of teaching in the worlds of yoga, acroyoga, partner acrobatics and other movement practices, and a combined 40 years of experience facilitating and education around issues of intersectional social justice. They will guide the group through 6 sessions over multiple weeks for a total of 18 hours of intimate and relational learning, connection, and reflection specifically tailored towards yoga teachers and community leaders.

What to Expect

At Justice Movement we strive to vary our teaching methods and keep things interesting and accessible for a variety of learning styles. We rarely lecture or talk for a long time, and lean heavily on intimate small group sharing, images and tools, and a variety of media (podcasts, articles, videos, poems, etc) for homework. We take breaks during long sessions, and encourage everyone to do what their body needs in order to focus. We also welcome your participation, and love to share the mic. Please let us know if you need specific accommodations, learning tools, or support in order to stay engaged and participate as comfortably as possible.

How much should I pay for a sliding scale course?  

Sliding scale takes into account your financial situation and circumstances when setting tuition.  Sustaining is the higher end of the scale and intended for those with stable incomes and the ability to save.  Your ability to support at the higher end allows the course to offer sliding scale tuition!  If the "sustaining" option is not a good fit for you, select general, the default investment amount or accessible, intended for students, and others who are getting by but don’t have much extra in their budget.  For those with little-to-no income, especially in these difficult economic times, Guest passes are available.  If a payment plan would make the course more accessible to you, select Payment Plan and write to us with what will work best for you.  If you have the ability and are keen to pay for your spot and one or more others select the Redistributive option.

* Participant Witness

Are those who feel they are entering the space with more experience living with marginalized identities. We recognize that for those in this role, sharing those lived experiences is deeply valuable, and requires more emotional labor. We honor that labor. It is always invited, never expected. As you sign up, please select the “participant witness” option in the registration form, and let us know what feels best for you to contribute from zero on up. We benefit from your added voice.  We like to remind everyone that all of our identities are intersectional - by this we mean that we are all a combination of our many identities (race, ethnicity, gender-identity, age, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, immigration status, physical and mental ability, body type, body size, religion, political beliefs and etc.).  Most of us are not fully marginalized or fully privileged in society. Most of us experience a combination of both privilege and marginalization as we move through life.  We believe that all of us have something to gain from working on Allyship and delving into areas in which we are less aware.
