Bringing Yoga to Indigenous Communities
The tour represents a meaningful step toward holistic wellness in Indigenous communities. Yoga is more than physical exercise; it is a ceremonial practice that aligns with traditional Indigenous medicine. By incorporating cultural teachings, storytelling, and mindfulness, these workshops create an inclusive space for healing and self-discovery.
"Practicing yoga is ceremony. It is a way to honor our ancestors and empower our future generations to embrace wellness and balance," said Laughter. "Those who practice regularly not only experience physical benefits like greater strength and flexibility, but they also feel uplifted mentally, and emotionally. It is truly holistic."
Since 2019, Hozhó Total Wellness has pioneered Hot Hogan Yoga, merging the benefits of hot yoga with the spiritual depth of Indigenous traditions. This tour will expand access to yoga in rural and urban Indigenous communities, ensuring that participants experience the transformative power of breath, movement, and cultural connection.
