BEHIND THE TRAINING: After nearly 15 years of teaching yoga in Cleveland, our founder, Ylonda Rosenthal-Greene, recognized the urgent need for more inclusive leadership in our community. Too often, the spaces we create fail to reflect the true diversity of the people they serve. That’s why Ylonda founded The Soul Institute—to challenge the stereotype that yoga is only for cis-gendered, thin white women and to demonstrate that yoga extends beyond the studio into our thoughts, words, and actions. The Soul Institute is committed to cultivating empowered, diverse communities through holistic yoga education, serving those ready to lead with intention and make meaningful change. It's time for a New Era of Inclusive Leadership, and it starts here.
-
The Soul Institute, empowers you to explore the deeper "why" behind your practice. Our programs are designed to help you take the knowledge and insights gained on the mat and seamlessly integrate them into your everyday life—whether in your family, work, or community. Through our accessible and transformative learning experiences, you'll grow as a yoga practitioner and enhance your personal and professional life in meaningful ways.
