Wellness can look different on different days.

Some days it’s getting on your mat and doing the work, some days it’s simply putting your phone on do not disturb and taking deep breaths.

Yoga helps us be present to what form of wellness is needed in every moment so that we can apply it for a better, more fulfilling sense of wellbeing, inside & out.

What little or large personal wellness practices do you often do to keep you grounded? 🤔

One of the best things about sharing yoga with the world is that you get to see the inner light it brings out of everyone.

Individuals and communities at large start to see and feel themselves differently and shine brighter inside out as a result. 🙏⭐️

Just go with the flow! 😉

With every teacher training, we’ve created more than yoga teachers. We’ve created connection, community, cultural exchange, bonding, hope, empowerment and much much more.

Every memory, every photo acts as an inspiring reminder of the uniting power of yoga. Here’s a celebration of all the impact yoga has made in our lives and communities in the past and a glimpse of hope for all the impact it will continue to make in the future ✨
