Yoga is the union of individual and universal energy.
WAKE UP FEST is our first-ever digital yoga festival to celebrate UNITY, through meditation, music and movement.
​
We dreamt this up in response to current events and to address the lack of diversity in yoga. Yoga's true meaning is "to yoke" or to unite, and on Sunday, we will come together in celebration with a collective intention of igniting change.

#Yoga4BLM was co-founded by Andrea Gray and Nikki Adams to raise awareness for Black Lives Matter and allow for collective healing through yoga.
​
To make yoga teacher training more accessible and affordable to aspiring Black teachers, they created a fund, and through weeklong Instagram challenges they fundraise to send YTT (yoga teacher training) scholarships to aspiring teachers in need.
