About Open Heart Yoga Collective

​

When the brick-and-mortar Open Heart Yoga Center closed its doors in 2020, Jessica Glendinning, Shankari Goldstein, and Dana Wheeles felt called to keep the community alive virtually. Through newsletters, workshops, and other offerings, this group strives to spotlight teachers in Virginia and beyond whose work embodies the full scope of yoga, on and off the mat.

​

About State of Union (Yoga) Address

​

​State of Union Yoga is a groundbreaking platform created by Black and Brown yoga teachers, as an act of conscious protest to uplift and amplify BIPOC and their voices within the yoga community. We are calling on the entire yoga industry to explore and unpack topics such as dismantling white supremacy, politics and community care, Black history and heritage, race based trauma, equity in our yoga culture, self inquiry, compassion, cultural humility, accessible yoga, cultural appropriation, how to become a better ally, and more.
​

We use embodied practices to self-reflect and sit with discomfort, feature town halls and guest panels to discover solutions and uplift those already doing this work, and follow up each lesson with tools and resources to take vital action and mobilize our communities. It is with this spirit of intentional consent and community care that we wanted to offer this community space for People of Color.
