Imagine a gender equal world.
A world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination.
A world that is diverse, equitable, and inclusive.
A world where difference is valued and celebrated.
Together we can forge women’s equality.
Collectively we can all #BreakTheBias through YOGA.
Why Women-in-Yoga Empowerment Conference?
Our Second Annual “Women-in-Yoga Empowerment Conference” will unite global, like-minded women leaders for a discussion on gender inequalities and how YOGA can be used as a tool to create change within practitioners and communities. As an annual gathering, the panelists, leaders of international yoga organizations and communities, will join forces to deliver a thought-provoking dialogue and practice sessions that we hope will inspire you to #BreakTheBias with yoga.
Funds raised from event registration and donations will be split evenly amongst the 3 participating non-profit organizations to empower girls and women in need.
