Souljourn Yoga Foundation is a US 501(c)3 non-profit that creates transformational yoga retreats and teacher training programs to raise awareness and funds for young women’s education around the world. Our name is inspired by seva, the Sanskrit word for and yogic principle of selfless service (the soul), sojourn, which captures the essence of being in a place and time, and yoga, which is union, balance, and connection. Our On the Ground Yoga Teacher Training focuses on how yoga fits the person as opposed to the person fitting to yoga.Participants learn about yoga and how it can be used, be it for self-practice or teaching. They learn how to guide meditations and breath work, while engaging in self-care workshops to promote health, resources, and community. All participants learn how the shapes and sequences of yoga create the foundation for self-designed classes. Each participant will be encouraged to explore movement as a path for holistic empowerment.
