Changing The Narrative (a spoken or written account of connected events; a story) is a yoga workshop about harnessing transcendental empowerment through expression rooted in lived experience. What is cultural connection; why does culture matter while writing a story? Why would changing the narrative be important for BIPOC communities in America and abroad? What do words like authenticity and accountability mean to us as both individuals and community members? We will inquire within to recognize and explore where our lives narrative is at the moment and why*. With holistic health in mind: yogic (meditative), somatic (physical) and cognitive behavioral practices (mental/emotional reflection) will help us inwardly reflect to actively rewrite internal and external stories if need be for peace of mind, body & soul. All experience levels are welcome!
