Elevate Together is a community-driven 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to deepening personal and collective practice through embodied learning, critical reflection, and shared dialogue. We center the voices of the global majority — including BIPOC and LGBTQ+ wisdom keepers — to create inclusive spaces for learning, unlearning, and connection. Grounded in the ethics and philosophy of yoga, our offerings include events, discussions, and practices that foster curiosity, challenge dominant narratives, and nurture communal healing.  

The Mission

OUR PROGRAMS

  • Affinity Space Classes

    FREE YOGA FOR BIPOC + LGBTQ+

    Our Affinity Space classes are intentional gatherings designed to center and uplift communities who are often underrepresented in wellness spaces. These classes create a brave, supportive, and culturally aware environment where BIPOC and LGBTQ+ individuals can breathe, move, and connect without the burden of explanation or code-switching.
    Each session encourages grounding, empowerment, and community care—because healing is most powerful when it’s shared.

  • The Kindness Crew

    KIDS YOGA + SOCIAL JUSTICE

    The Kindness Crew is a playful and engaging yoga program for kids that blends movement, mindfulness, and age-appropriate conversations about kindness, equity, and social justice.
    Through yoga, storytelling, and creative activities, children learn how to use their voices, show compassion, and understand the importance of caring for themselves and their communities.
    This program helps young people build emotional resilience—and reminds them that even small acts of kindness can make a big impact.

  • Scholarship Opportunities

    200-HR LAUNCH YOGA TEACHER TRAINING

    We believe that yoga teachers should reflect the diverse communities they serve. Our LAUNCH Scholarship Program expands access to Soul Yoga’s 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training by offering opportunities for emerging leaders who want to share yoga in meaningful and inclusive ways.
    Scholarships support individuals who demonstrate a commitment to community impact, healing justice, and using yoga as a tool for transformation.

  • Books & Banter

    FREE COMMUNITY EVENT

    our book discussion series featuring books written by BIPOC & LGBTQ authors. These conversations invite deeper reflection, joyful exchange, and collective learning.
    Participants explore new perspectives, challenge assumptions, and celebrate stories that deserve to be heard. Whether you're an avid reader or just curious, all are welcome to join the dialogue.
