This workshop includes two yoga practice sessions as well as lectures and discussion rounds. There will be an introduction into the history and development of yoga through a gender lens. Additionally we will explore strategies to use contemporary yoga as a practice of empowerment and a movement towards social change by looking into our own gender conceptions and how they resonate with the reality of our bodies. This workshop is for everyone who is willing to shake things up a little, ready for change and to explore yoga in a different way.
