We are a collective of yogis, educators, and activist working in collaboration with global and local leaders using trainings, online courses, and community service projects to evoke and support grassroots change.
Our Work
From yoga studios and retreat centers, from online to community spaces, we are using the tools of yoga and meditation as foundational practices of self-awareness and self-accountability for leaders worldwide. Our in-person & online trainings are dedicated to supporting people in becoming conscious and effective community leaders, covering topics such as trauma, social justice foundations, connecting with our passion and purpose, and linking embodied practice with effective social change work. We believe that without a practice of self-awareness, we cannot be held accountable as leaders. This accountability is vital to transforming our world into a place where we prioritize collective care and well-being for all.

FAQs
OTM INTENSIVES FAQ
I’m not a yoga teacher. Can I take this training?
Yes! This training is not specifically for yoga teachers, although many yoga teachers do attend. We also get activists, educators, clinicians, and people who are simply interested in the topic.
What style and level of yoga will be practiced during the training?
Most of the practices we offer during the training are based in Vinyasa yoga, which can be vigorous, but our expectation is that attendees will listen to their bodies and move at a pace that makes sense for them. The asana practice is a practice of self-awareness and self-reflection—we don’t care if you can stand on your head or do "fancy" stuff; our intention is to create a space for you to drop into your mind, body, and breath. So whatever way you need to do that will be honored and supported.
Because these workshop tend to be large (35-50 people), we are not able to offer a lot of one-on-one assistance, so if you have an injury or a disability or you are brand new to yoga, it is important that you take care of yourself and not overdo it. We will do our best to remind you and support you but we are limited in how much personal support we can give you.
Is this training going to help me find my purpose in life?
It might! Part of this training is dedicated towards having you explore what inspires you and how living a life on purpose might look for you. You will even have a chance to practice pitching a project to someone.
