Skill in Action: Radicalizing Your Yoga Practice to Create a Just World | created by Michelle JohnsonFriday – Sunday, March 4-6, 2022 | held online via Zoom | Hosted by Lauren Roberts and Charlie ReddAs yoga teachers or students studying to hold space for others and teach the sacred practice of yoga, we have a responsibility to understand how to bring the larger cultural context into our teaching and practice. Many are wondering how to respond to the collective trauma caused by Covid-19, white supremacy and racism and all forms of superiority and oppression. Many are wondering how to make space for their grief and liberation amid social isolation and distancing. Dominant culture wants us to continue to disassociate from ourselves and others, divide and conquer, maintain the status quo and turn away from heartbreak we may be feeling at this time.

About Charlie Redd - Charlie is an entrepreneur, mentor, community organizer, and healer. At the core of everything that she does is a passion for social justice and a mission to create spaces where people from marginalized groups can show up as their whole selves. Back in 2018, Charlie opened Haven Yoga Studio in Indianapolis, Indiana after years of practicing, working in studios, teaching, and experiencing the reality that, as a black person, she was unable to do her deep work in the spaces that were available to her. Charlie founded Haven to provide an accessible and affirming space where people can practice in community and safely deepen their wellness practice amongst others who care about their wellbeing. Charlie is a mentor for folx who are interested in digging deeper into their own practice and learning how to advocate for themselves in the wellness space, as well as a teacher for wellness leaders who are ready to learn how to be more supportive of different communities. She also works with organizations to offer coaching and facilitation around social justice, anti-racism, and healing justice with the use of wellness tools.
