Our Yoga of Social Change program, led by Claudia Horwitz and Michelle Johnson, explores the ways that yoga can deepen the journey of awareness & inform our desire for collective liberation. Using yoga asana (postures), pranayama (breathing), meditation, teachings, discussion and time for reflection, this program allows practitioners to go deep, integrating spiritual practice with transformational social justice.
We offer Yoga of Social Change 1-2 times per year in a one-day format, and once per year as an overnight weekend retreat at The Stone House. In 2011, we offered the program at the Festival Center in Washington, DC, and hope to return there annually.
