Embrace Yoga's Roots Online Course | Practice, Teach & Embrace Yoga's Roots
What if your yoga practice wasn't just personal growth — but a revolution?
You love yoga. You feel its power. And somewhere along the way, you started wondering: Am I doing this right? Am I honoring where this comes from?
That question isn't doubt. It's integrity. And this course was built for exactly that moment.
Embrace Yoga's Roots is a self-paced, 4-part online course that gives you a clear framework to practice and teach yoga with confidence, cultural integrity, and real impact — without the overwhelm of getting it wrong.
In 4 weeks, you'll learn to:
- Navigate cultural appropriation with clarity — so you know how to honor yoga's roots instead of unintentionally misrepresenting them
- Open and close your classes with intention, creating a transformative experience rooted in tradition
- Connect yoga and social justice using ancient yogic tools to engage with power, privilege, and equity
- Live yoga as a way of life — from mantra to meditation to how you show up in community
- Tap into your authentic voice as a teacher and practitioner, rooted in lineage, not performance
This course includes: 4 video trainings, 4 guided practice experiences, downloadable worksheets, and over $6,700 in bonus resources — including done-for-you class scripts, a cultural appropriation guide, and 2 months of live coaching community access with Susanna.
Yoga Alliance teachers earn 20 CEUs upon completion.
