A Yogini is a woman who has embraced yoga into her life to the point where it informs everything she does, every interaction with not only her students, but with the earth she stands upon and the world around her. Our "Featured American Yogini" honors these luminous teachers who teach us all not only in the class, but more profoundly, as walking, living examples of this beautiful practice of oneness.
