What are the connections between anti-racism work and a yoga practice? In this talk, author & speaker Jamilah Pitts will discuss the overlaps between yoga philosophy, anti-racism practice, and social justice work. She will also provide guidance and insights for how one can take mindful action and incorporate these critical and important lessons in their everyday live, both on the mat as teachers and students, and off the mat as active members of their communities.
After the presentation, there will be time allotted for Q&A.
