At Yogis Choice Academy, we are committed to empowering and uplifting BIPOC yogis and other underrepresented communities in the transformative practice of yoga. Our mission is to provide a welcoming and inclusive space where individuals of all races and backgrounds can deepen their understanding of yoga while honoring the diverse cultural roots from which it stems. Through a comprehensive 200-hour teacher training led by a team of experienced Black instructors, including Queer representation and international perspectives, we aim to cultivate a community that celebrates the intersectionality of race, gender, sexual orientation, and global experiences within the yoga space. By centering conversations around the role of race in yoga and addressing the needs of other marginalized groups, we strive to create a more equitable and accessible environment for all practitioners. At Yogis Choice Academy, we believe that by amplifying diverse voices and experiences, we can collectively elevate the practice of yoga to foster healing, growth, and social change. 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) This 9-week online training, will occur on weekends and is ideal for those who prefer learning from the comfort of home. We will conclude with an exciting opportunity to meet your classmates in person during an optional one-week yoga retreat in Costa Rica, the retreat is optional.
