About This Event

This panel discussion focuses on taking intentions around creating yoga equity and turning them into meaningful action. It’s often that we have the right intentions but lack framework and strategy to translate them. Here, panelists share three specific tools to help teachers impact their communities in a way that translates into equity and inclusion.
